Lending some credence to allegations by Anil Kaul, the liaison officer of the Pakistan team during the Champions Trophy [ Images ], against Shoaib Akhtar [ Images ], Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell [ Images ] on Monday said that the Pakistan speedster was making a nuisance of himself in the hotel where he was staying.
However, Chappell denied that Akhtar knocked his Jaipur [ Images ] hotel room door that night.
"He did not knock my door. He was making a nuisance of himself in the vicinity," Chappell told news channel Headlines Today.
The former Australian captain said he did not file any complaint against Akhtar over the incident.
"It is a matter for the Pakistan Cricket Board to deal with. I have not filed any report against Akhtar," he said.
Kaul had alleged that Akhtar had slapped Pakistan team coach Bob Woolmer [ Images ] and misbehaved with a woman at a discotheque and created a ruckus in the team hotel, banging the door of Indian coach Greg Chappell who was also staying in the same hotel.
However, Akhtar has denied the charges, saying it was a conspiracy to destroy his reputation.
The PCB, while deciding to investigate the matter, charged Kaul with breaking all norms of decency.
