A defiant suspended Board of Control for Cricket in India boss N Srinivasan on Monday said there is no reason for him to ask Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to resign from India Cements, a company that owns Chennai Super Kings and where Srinivasan is a Managing Director.
"Why should I (ask Dhoni to resign)," Srinivasan said when asked if he would ask Dhoni to resign as Vice-President at India Cements after the Supreme Court's scathing observations last week on the conflict of interest within BCCI.
"I will not answer anything regarding the case. The matter is subjudice. This is not the right time and place," Srinivasan told Headlines Today.
Last week, the Supreme Court said that the Chennai Super Kings should be "terminated without further enquiry" from the Indian Premier League because one of the team's officials, Gurunath Meiyappan, has been indicted for betting by the Justice Mudgal panel.
The apex court also expressed displeasure over Dhoni holding an important position in Srinivasan's company, India Cements, saying the "dual role is a matter of concern". Dhoni also captains the Chennai Super Kings, which has won the IPL tournament twice and have been one of the favourite finalists.
The Mudgal Committee, which submitted its report on November 17, had indicted Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals franchise co-owner Raj Kundra of betting and confirmed their role in their teams but cleared Srinivasan of match fixing and scuttling the probe.
