Srinivasan to put three demands before stepping down

The beleaguered BCCI president N Srinivasan will face the toughest test in his administrative career in tomorrow's emergent Working Committee meeting where members are likely to push for his ouster in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal that has rocked Indian cricket.
While it is all but certain that Srinivasan will have to step down from the president's post paying heed to the popular demand from the affiliated units, it is learnt that the Tamil Nadu strongman wants three of his demands to be met before he quits.
Srinivasan's three demands are that he should be reinstated as President if he comes out clean after the probe, that he should represent India in ICC meetings and that secretary Sanjay Jagdale and Treasurer Ajay Shirke should not be in the new panel as they had ditched him.

The BCCI members, it is learnt, are not in favour of ignoring Jagdale and Shirke in the new panel and are unlikely to accept that demand.
Top Board members are working on a strategy to force Srinivasan to step down, at least till investigations against his son-in-law and CSK Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan were completed.
Srinivasan will be told clearly by the members that his position was "untenable" under the circumstances and it would be in the interest of Indian cricket that he stepped down on moral grounds.

If he continued to remain adamant, most of the Board officials will then to quit and create a constitutional crisis within the Board, leaving him with no option but to step down.

The working committee has 24 members and it has been largely summoned to gauge the mood which was heavily against Srinivasan.
Now with both Secretary Jagdale and Treasurer Shirke gone it will be a 22-member forum as both Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) and Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) are not part of current working committee.
