New Delhi : The Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing scandal took a new turn Friday evening as two top Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials resigned from their posts on moral grounds.

“I have resigned from the post of secretary of the BCCI. I am deeply hurt by the recent developments in Indian cricket. Let some new faces come and take the responsibility. I have also expressed my inability to join the probe,” Jagdale said. Shirke, seen as another supporter of Srinivasan, had come under increasing pressure over the last two days. “Yes, I have resigned. I have spelt out my reason to the media several times and do not want to comment any more,” he said.

Jagdale, belonging to the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association, added that he will not serve on the three-man commission, which had been appointed to probe Srinivasans son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappans role in the betting scam.

Shirke had been saying for the past few days that Srinivasan should step down on moral grounds in the wake of the spot fixing scandal in which his own son-in-law was arrested.Shirke said, “I care about my reputation and also the reputation of the sport which is why I decided to resign. Nobody has influenced my decision.”

Shirke, president of the Maharashtra Cricket Association, also refused to comment on Srinivasans ouster. There are also reports that all five BCCI vice presidents Niranjan Shah (west zone), Sudhir Dabir (central), Chitrak Mitra (east), Arun Jaitley (north) and N.Shivlal Yadav (south) will also resign.

Late Friday, Srinivasan called for a working committee meeting to discuss the corruption issues in the IPL. The day of the meeting is yet to be confirmed.
