N Srinivasan lashes out at CoA for current state of affairs

From inner feuds to public controversies, cricket in India of late has been more like a Bollywood drama with it's own set of high’s and low’s. Last month, the talk of the town was the whole controversy that involved Indian women’s team member, Mithali Raj, and former coach Ramesh Powar. This month it has changed to Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul's comments on a chat show.

"We worked very hard to promote the game, from all aspects. We were never there for self-publicity. I was hardly seen on public platforms when I served BCCI. We just worked. Now, the difference is that there are individuals who are here to see what they can find for themselves. It’s more about them and not the game. That’s the difference and that’s why there is this mess," Srinivasan told TOI.

"I would not like to comment upon a verdict given by the court. But on my part, I’d like to reiterate that I had not done anything wrong. Even during this period (spot-fixing), I stepped aside and asked Mr Dalmiya to look after things. If you ask me, ‘Were you treated fairly?’, I’d possibly say, ‘I don’t think so’. But all that is in the past. I haven’t changed my support for this game," Srinivasan added.
