Srinivasan to attend WC meeting

Unfazed by the Bombay High Court order declaring BCCI’s two-member probe as ‘illegal’, a defiant N Srinivasan today made it clear that he will attend the Working Committee here on August 2 which is expected to draw up the future course of action.

Hearing a Public Interest Litigation filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar, a division bench of justices S J Vazifdar and M S Sonak declared the two-member BCCI probe panel ‘unconstitutional and illegal’, a development which has put a spanner on Srinivasan’s return to the BCCI top post. The High Court order comes just two days after the BCCI panel submitted its report which cleared president-in-exile Srinivasan’s franchise Chennai Super Kings.

‘We will wait for the judgement to come into our hands before deciding our next step,’ BCCI’s interim chief Jagmohan Dalmiya said. But Srinivasan took a more defiant stand. ‘Yes, I will be attending the BCCI working Committee meeting in New Delhi on August 2,’ Srinivasan said.
