Bindra writes letter to ICC to ban Srini

Jun 27, 2013 - Age Correspondent

Punjab Cricket Association president Inderjit Singh Bindra has written a letter to the International Cricket Council asking it to disallow N. Srinivasan from attending any of the meetings at the ongoing annual conference in London and to begin a probe into using the position in the world body for personal advantage or gain.

Srinivasan had stepped aside as Board of Control for Cricket in India president after the Indian Premier League spot-fixing scandal.
Bindra has charged Srinivasan with violating the ICC Code of Ethics being one of its directors in matters related to the IPL spot-fixing row, BCCI’s stand on the Decision Review System, election of Laxman Sivaramakrishnan as the players’ representative in the body among others.
“For a start, I urge you to hold an enquiry into all points raised above and disallow Mr Srinivasan from attending any meeting of the ICC till such time you reach a conclusion. “I am aware that this request of mine is well within your rights and as per the ICC Code of Ethics, needs to be investigated,” Bindra posted on his blog on Wednesday.
“It gives me great pain to write this letter, because the person who is at the centre of the controversy happens to be heading the same board of which I have been a member for the last 38 years and served as its president.
“ICC spokesperson may still not have any objection to the stepped-aside president attending the annual conference but millions of cricket enthusiasts in India and across the globe have strong reservations about his participation in any deliberations until he is cleared by the competent authority and allowed to step back by the (Indian) board,” said Bindra.
