Suspended Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief N Srinivasan on Wednesday submitted an undertaking to the Supreme Court (SC) that he will stay away from all Indian Premier League (IPL) related issues if he is allowed to contest the elections for the post of BCCI president.
Srinivasan's undertaking comes after his lawyer put forth five options before the top court to decide on the next course of action or punishment to those found guilty in connection with the IPL spot fixing and betting case.
On Monday, the Supreme Court had told Srinivasan that every person at the helm of the BCCI's affairs should be above suspicion and even the likelihood of conflict of interest should be avoided. As per reports, the apex court further told the body that the 'purity' of cricket must be maintained.
The court also had said that BCCI elections should go ahead, but directed that all board members who are under investigation to keep away. It further asked the body if there was any provision in its constitution to debar Srinivasan from contesting the BCCI polls in future.
