BCCI vice-president Niranjan Shah today said N Srinivasan could return as BCCI chief and chair the IPL Governing Council meeting on August 2 as the probe panel has found no evidence against his team Chennai Super Kings in the IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal.
"He himself has stepped down and now as probe is already finished, given to the working committee already, Srinivasan can come any time he wants to. He can chair the meeting," Shah said when asked if Srinivasan can chair the GC meeting in the capital.
The Board's Working Committee and the IPL Governing Council will meet to take a final call on the issue after the two-member panel, comprising former High Court Judges T Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian, submitted its report to the BCCI Working Committee which met in Kolkata today.
The panel was mandated to enquire into the roles of Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was the Team Prinicipal of Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and its co-owner Raj Kundra.
Shah said, "If there is any substantial thing coming out later on in court of law or in police investigation then I think the things will still stand, means, if they are charge-sheeted then, and if it is proven in the court of law, I think automatically then they are out of BCCI.
