Srinivasan was present at the SGM through video conference via skype. File Pic[/caption]Internet Desk: A notice which was suggested by N Srinivasan, to be sent to ICC regarding India’s reduced revenue share from $570 million to $293 million had to be backed down.
Few suspicions were raised as for the first time in a BCCI meeting, the former president faced objections.
"I won't say there was confrontation. But when Mr Srinivasan joined the SGM via Skype, the first thing he spoke about was issuing a notice to ICC. There was immediate objection from Maharashtra Cricket Association president Abhay Apte and IPL GC chairman Rajeev Shukla. Srinivasan didn't expect that," a state unit official present at the meeting, told PTI.
"The main objection was that sending a notice would jeopardise India's chances as a 30-day cure of breach period would only end after June 4. A few others also voiced their dissent.
"Suddenly Srinivasan gauged that this is not the BCCI that he ruled with iron hand. He agreed and said 'I am not in war with ICC. I also want cricket to continue'."
When Committee of Administrators head Vinod Rai was asked about Srinivasan attending the meeting, he didn't want to read too much into the matter.
With inputs from PTI.
