Indian women’s cricket team batter Jemimah Rodrigues’s father Ivan on Friday refuted allegations that he used her membership at the prestigious Khar Gymkhana to hold “conversion meetings” at its premises, claiming that he merely conducted prayer gatherings “in complete accordance with procedures.”

Khar Gymkhana revoked Jemimah’s membership during its Annual General Meeting, following complaints from several members that Ivan allegedly misused the privileges granted to the star cricketer.
