BCCI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India's working committee meeting in New Delhi was called off on Friday after opposition over Narayanswamy Srinivasan's return as Board president. Jagmohan Dalmiya will continue functioning as BCCI interim chief.
Srinivasan attended the Indian Premier League governing council meeting to discuss Bombay High Court's ruling that a probe panel investigating the spot-fixing scandal in IPL was illegal. According to TV reports, Srinivasan's presence at the IPL meet angered other governing council members.
He was also adamant on chairing the working committee meet which led to the revolt. At least four board members, including two vice-presidents, had threatened to resign if Srinivasan chaired the meeting.
Punjab Cricket Association chief and Working Committee member IS Bindra opted to skip the meeting and the state body was represented by its secretary MP Pandove.
The BCCI decided to appeal in the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court order, which had declared the Board's IPL spot-fixing probe as "illegal and unconstitutional".
"At its meeting in Delhi earlier today, the IPL Governing Council (Mr. N. Srinivasan having recused himself) considered at length, the issues arising from the Bombay High Court's order regarding the constitution of the probe commission, which was formed to investigate the complaints made by the BCCI against India Cements Limited, Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Limited, Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan and Mr Raj Kundra," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.
