The programmed release of Shoiab Akhtar's controversial book here tomorrow has suddenly been cancelled without any reason being given.
Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar was to release Shoiab Akhtar's autobiography 'Controversially Yours' at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) premises.
"The event has been cancelled," confirmed a CCI official, without transferring any reason.
According to sources, the event was cancelled due to unexpected conditions.
The sudden cancellation generated speculation that it may be because of the less than flattering remarks about Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
In his tell-all autobiography, Akhtar has made many controversial claims including one where he says that the Indian batsman Tendulkar did not have the ability to finish matches in the initial stages of his career.
Meanwhile, a protest was held in suburban Dahisar today against Akhtar, for his comments on Tendulkar. Protesters carried Akthar's posters on donkey-backs.
On Monday, Akhtar is scheduled to attend another function to promote his book in the city.
