CHENNAI, India, (Reuters) – India’s top cricketers  are reluctant to sign up to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s  (WADA) controversial ‘whereabouts’ rule with just one day  remaining before the Aug. 1 deadline, domestic media reported yesterday.

The International Cricket Council became a WADA signatory  in 2006 and the ICC board last year unanimously approved  out-of-competition tests on cricketers in accordance with  amendments made by WADA to the code.

The Times of India reported that India’s leading cricketers  were unhappy with the whereabouts clause, which stipulates  players must tell doping authorities where they will be for one  hour every day over a set period of time.

WADA regulations say that three misses in 18 months could  result in a two-year ban from international cricket, the paper  reported.

“We want a drug free sport world and now that ICC is a part  of International Olympic Committee, we have to abide by the  WADA rules, an ICC official told Times of India.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called  for a working committee meeting on Sunday where the subject is  expected to be discussed.

The Hindustan Times quoted an unnamed WADA spokesman saying  there would be no compromise on anti-doping codes.
