                                                                    N Srinivasan

N Srinivasan's return to the BCCI was stalled after the cricket body Working Committee meet was called off following Supreme Court refusing to stay a Bombay High Court order that termed the BCCI probe panel on spot fixing illegal.

Indian cricket is at its favourite “will-he, won'the“ game again over N Srinivasan, who had sidelined himself from the presidency of the BCCI in the aftermath of the spot fixing and conflict of interest scandals that roiled the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League.

Spotlight on Srinivasan again as BCCI WC meets tomorrow

The Tamil Nadu strongman, was back in the news on Friday after the Supreme Court deferred hearing his petition against a Bombay High Court order that had called a two-member investigation committee into the Indian Premier League scandals insitiuted by the board “illegal and unconstitutional“. Indian cricket is at its favourite “will-he, won'the“ game again over N.

“It's a blow for Srinivasan as the Supreme Court has issued the notice in his name among others,“ a BCCI official admitted.

With the BCCI working committee set to meet in Kolkata on Sunday, the issue of whether or not Srinivasan will chair the meeting is back on centrestage, and indications are that while he will attend the meeting, interim chief Jagmohan Dalmiya will continue to be in the chair.

Board sources indicated that Srinivasan would be in Kolkata in his capacity as the TN Cricket Association president and would not attempt to make a comeback as head of the BCCI as yet in the wake of the Supreme Court putting back the date of hearing his petition to September 11.

Though Srinivasan was keen to return to the BCCI presidency, especially after the fiasco of the Delhi working committee meeting on August 2, that may now not transpire yet, it was learnt. “I've no idea about it.
Please don't ask me anything about the meeting, these are tricky and sensitive issues. You'll come to know after the meeting tomorrow,“ Dalmiya was said on Saturday .
