I am not seeking to make a comeback to BCCI fold, says Ajay Shirke

“I am not seeking to make a comeback to BCCI,” says former Indian Cricket Board Treasurer Ajay Shirke. He made it quite clear that he is not ready to take any post in BCCI. This reaction came in a day after Sanjay Jagdale, former BCCI Secretary, announced that he is not in any mood to link up with BCCI from here on.



He was quoted saying by Hindustan Times, “We have been asked by the working committee of BCCI to resume our work but we are not interested to work with BCCI. Working committee asked us to give our comeback some kind of thought but we have scratched that idea.” The duo resigned from their respective posts on Friday in the wake of the spot-fixing and betting scandal that rocked Indian cricket.



Jagdale was quoted by Indian Express saying, "They were unanimous in asking us (Shirke) to take back the resignation, but I feel bad that I cannot respond in a positive manner,"



The pressure that was created on BCCI Chief, N Srinivasan by the couple of resignations forced him to take a “fair” call on getting to step aside from his post on Sunday. The probe is going on against the Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of Srinivasan, who was arrested on the charges of betting.

 

BCCI brought back former Chief, Jagmohan Dalmiya, as head of a four-member "interim arrangement" to run the Board.
