The ongoing case in the Supreme Court seems to have created a major divide within the BCCI. Media have been told that ten state associations have asked for an emergency meeting of the Board to discuss the next course of action in the Top Court.
The unfairly treated state bodies probe that all decisions are being taken without their decision by N. Srinivasan, while in fact they ought to be taken in consultation with the entire working committee.
A head of a state cricket body, spoke to media said he along with a few other members of the board are deeply disturbed by the fact that the image of the BCCI has taken a beating and they feel inspection is the need of the hour.
For the moment the ten state associations want the emergency meeting to take place before April 22, the date of the next hearing in the Supreme Court.
The court had removed Srinivasan as BCCI president till the Indian Premier League case was properly investigated and the guilty booked. The judges had installed batting legend Sunil Gavaskar as the interim head to manage BCCI’s IPL affairs.
Srinivasan, according to the probe report, has 12 allegations against him, with annexures to each of them. “It seems that Mr Srinivasan has not taken the allegations seriously,” the court said.
