Laxman Sivaramakrishnan's email for selector's role goes 'missing' from BCCI inbox

Former leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan submitted his application for BCCI's national selector role when the tenure of the selection committee headed by MSK Prasad came to an end. Former players Rajesh Chauhan and Amay Khurasiya, too, applied for the same post but the former Indian leg-spinner was the front-runner for the role, not only as a selector but to head the committee as well.

“Siva sent the email at 16:16 (as mentioned in his sent mail) on Jan 22. The deadline was Jan 24. The new email address was created specifically to receive CVs from interested candidates. 21 applications have been received, which means there are 21 e-mails in the inbox. How can just one email go missing? Especially when the person sending it clicked on the official link to send it? How can a random email end in the spam folder either? How many spam emails can collect in a new email ID created for a specific purpose?”

“It looks like a clear case of mischief and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Sivaramakrishnan needs to be called and his e-mail’s sent folder needs to be looked into. If he’s saying he sent the email on Jan 22 and knows the precise timing when he sent it, why would he lie?”
