Srinivasan, Thakur to attend WC semis
23 March 2015 10:22 PM GMT
According to BCCI sources, Srinivasan, Thakur and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary will arrive before the match on Thursday but it is highly unlikely that Dalmiya would make it even if India reaches the final. “Srinivasan, Thakur and Chaudhary will be coming either on March 24 or 25th. Srinivasan in any case will be staying till March 29 in capacity of ICC Chairman. Chaudhary and Thakur are the representatives of BCCI,” a senior BCCI official said on Sunday. However, Dalmiya’s case is a bit interesting as it is believed that he cannot meet the physically demanding travel schedule of flying into Australia.
“Dalmiya is an old man now. He is not fit enough to travel 12 hours from Kolkata to Melbourne and back. It will be physically demanding and it won’t be possible for him to attend the World Cup matches. As of now it’s more than 90 per cent assured he won’t be travelling to Australia,” a Dalmiya confidant said.
