A day after resigning from the post of Cricket Board secretary in the wake of IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, Sanjay Jagdale today ruled out the possibility of making a comeback into the BCCI fold in future.
"I am not even looking at the possibility of coming back into the BCCI fold. I think I am done with my innings," Jagdale told reporters here.
The 62-year-old top official, along with treasurer Ajay Shirke, yesterday quit from their respective posts in a bid to put pressure on beleaguered BCCI President N Srinivasan.

"The spot-fixing and betting scandal in the IPL has badly dented the image of cricket. A massive clean-up job is required to overcome this. But this will take time as the damage done is very big.
"It is very difficult to stop fixing in cricket and BCCI has its own limitations. But the the Board can strengthen its surveillance and curb the menace of fixing. At the same time, the BCCI will have to take strict action against cricketers who are found guilty."
He said the onus is now on the BCCI to earn back the faith of the fans.
"To earn the faith of fans, the BCCI administrators will have to show determination and work as a unit."
Asked whether the Board should be brought under the RTI to rein in corruption, Jagdale said it won't help.
"If Sreesanth decides to put a towel in his trousers and bowl a fixed over, RTI cannot help," he said.
