Quoting <strong>Rajiv Shukla<\/strong>, who earlier on Wednesday had said that Srinivasan should stay away from the probe investigating Gurunath&#8217;s involvement in the IPL spot fixing scandal, Srinivasan said that Shukla was merely reiterating what he had said in the press conference in Kolkata on Sunday.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Shukla\u2019s latest interview and it is very clear that he has said that I should disassociate with the procedure. In Kolkata, I said the same. I will have nothing to do with the commission, it\u2019s appointment and it\u2019s probe. This is what Shukla said. He has reiterated what I said in Kolkata. We will just await that result. I have nothing else to say,\u201d said Srinivasan.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile a number of voices emanated against the BCCI chief in the last 24 hours. The first among those was <strong>Jyotiraditya Scindia,<\/strong> president of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association, who said that Srinivasan should have resigned on moral grounds for the free and fair investigation of the scandal involving his son-in-law. \u201cIf he comes out clean, he can be re-instated again,\u201d said Scindia.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>Sharad Pawar<\/strong>, former BCCI chief, too came out heavily on the present incumbent saying that he was extremely hurt with the spot-fixing scandal. He said: \u201cThe cricket loving people of India are hurt with the situation prevalent today. I was in charge, this would not have happened.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pawar also backed former BCCI president <strong>Shashank Manohar\u2019s<\/strong> suggestion that the matter be referred to the Home Ministry.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) President Ravi Sawant too spoke out against Srinivasan. Sawant told <strong>NDTV<\/strong>, \u201cIf I was in Srinivasan\u2019s position, I would have quit.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Times Now, BCCI Treasurer <strong>Ajay Shirke<\/strong> said, \u201cThe BCCI\u2019s credibility is at stake and all steps necessary must be taken to instill faith in the board and the game.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In another development a case of cheating has been filed against the BCCI. A member of Jharkhand Cricket Association filed a complaint with the magistrate\u2019s court in Ranchi against BCCI and its functionaries for \u201ccheating\u201d the public in the wake of spot-fixing scandal.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Complainant Naresh Makani alleges that all the matches of IPL were fixed, and the franchise owners were involved in it.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile one of Sreesanth\u2019s friends has been arrested for destroying evidence related to IPL spot fixing. Times Now reports that Sreesanth\u2019s close friend Abhishek Shukla has been arrested in Delhi.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In another development Pakistan umpire Asad Rauf has denied any wrongdoing in IPL spot fixing scandal. \u201cI have never been involved in spot fixing or match fixing. I have never taken any gifts or items. The ICC anti-corruption unit have set up an inquiry into the matter and I am waiting for the outcome. That is all I can say,\u201d said Asad Rauf, the Pakistan umpire who has been withdrawn from the Champions Trophy pending a probe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai\/Chennai\/Delhi: Amdist the growing demands for his ouster from the post of BCCI president until the probe against his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan is completed, N Srinivasan remained defiant saying that he is not going to resign.
