MUMBAI: Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) working committee meeting, expected to discuss the fate of the two suspended IPL sides Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) has been adjourned after former board president N. Srinivasan tried to attend the meeting as a representative of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA).
The meeting was scheduled to begin at afternoon on Friday but the drama created by Srinivasan’s alleged attempt to attend it delayed the start.
Reports suggest that BCCI boss Jagmohan Dalmiya and his officials were strictly against Srinivasan being present in the meeting.
After a delay of close to one hour, the meeting was adjourned indefinitely. After consultation with senior BCCI members and legal head Ushanath Bannerjee, president Jagmohan Dalmiya told reporters that the meeting was being adjourned due to the “lack of legal clarity” on Srinivasan’s participation.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) working committee meeting was adjourned sine die after deciding to seek the opinion of the Supreme Court whether N. Srinivasan could attend the meetings of the BCCI as the authorised representative of Tamil Nadu Cricket Association,” BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said in a brief statement. — Agencies
