Team India pacer Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin Jahan said she wanted to meet the cricketer after he met with an accident while travelling from Dehradun to New Delhi.
Shami's car collided with a truck on 24 March and he suffered minor injuries and got a few stitches on his head.
Shami has been booked under various non-bailable offences, including attempt to murder, and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code after Jahan's complaint to the police of domestic violence and infidelity against him.
She said she was eager to meet Shami along with their daughter but all her attempts to contact him over phone went "unanswered".
The Board of Control for Cricket in India cleared Shami's central contract after its anti-corruption unit exonerated him of corruption charges levelled by Jahan.
Shami has been given a Grade 'B' annual contract, which will make him richer by Rs 3 crore. He will also be free to play in the Indian Premier League for his franchise – the Delhi Daredevils starting 7 April.
Jahan had met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with her allegation against Shami.
After the meeting Jahan has been provided with security from Kolkata police.
