BCCI would improve upon transparency: Secy Shirke

Newly-elected BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke on Monday said that the Board was keen on “redemption” of the cricket body’s image and bringing more transparency in its style of functioning.

Shirke had quit as BCCI treasurer as he wanted the erstwhile chief N Srinivasan to step down from his post with match-fixing allegations levelled against his son-in-law G Meiyappan during the 2013 edition of IPL. Asked about his much-lauded decision to step down voluntarily, Shirke said,” That’s history.”
