Chennai: N Srinivasan has agreed to “step aside” as Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president till the enquiry into the spot-fixing and betting charges during Indian Premier League (IPL) 6 “is completed.”He announced that, will not discharge his duties as the president of the board till the probe is completed

Till such time, Jagmohan Dalmiya will conduct the day-to-day affairs of the board,” the BCCI said in a statement after the three-hour meeting. However, the BCCI didn’t officially term Dalmiya interim president because, as per its constitution, the Working Committee doesn’t have the authority to make such an appointment.

BCCI vice-president and IPL Governing Council member Arun Jaitley, who attended the meeting through a video-conference, along with joint secretary Anurag Thakur, proposed the names of former BCCI president Shashank Manohar and Cricket Association of Bengal president Dalimya for the post of interim chief. 

“The committee expressed full confidence in Sanjay Jagdale and Ajay Shirke, and requested them to withdraw their resignations in the larger interest of the board,” the statement added. However, both Jagdale and Shirke said they were not interested in coming back to the BCCI. 

The meeting also did not name any replacement for Jagdale in the three-member panel that was constituted to inquire into the betting charges against Gurunath Meiyappan, the owners of Rajasthan Royals and India Cements—owners of Chennai Super Kings.
