Shah’s match fees were withheld after the BCCI’s Disciplinary Committee banned the batsman for five years for an alleged corrupt approach to one of his Ranji teammates.

In a letter to the BCCI, Shah wrote: “My father has been hospitalised for chest pain. Doctor had advised to do angiography and after seeing the reports, the doctor has advised a bypass surgery immediately as his heart is only 15 per cent functional.”
