It was a balanced order: Mudgal
30 March 2014 5:21 AM IST
‘I expected nothing else. It was a very balanced order by the Supreme Court. It balances the interest of administration, purity of the game and interest of the players, team and Indian cricket and also the cricket loving people of the county. I am sure it will go a long way in improving Indian cricket,’ said Mudgal.
The Supreme Court on Friday said Sunil Gavaskar should be made the interim president only for managing affairs of IPL, while the senior most vice-president, Shivlal Yadav, should take care of the non-IPL affairs of the BCCI.
Mudgal welcomed the decision and said: ‘If an expert cricketer, intelligent and educated person like Gavaskar is selected then nothing better than that. Gavaskar was an outstanding cricketer, best that India has produced. He was India captain, an expert and commentator, though his hands were tied because of the BCCI contract.
‘He knows the working of cricket intimately and it is good for the game and one of the qualities of Gavaskar is his ability to stand up against white supremacy that existed. So he is a very good choice,’ he added. A final order from the Supreme Court is expected on 16 April, the day IPL 7 is scheduled to start.
