Kolkata: Outgoing interim chief of BCCI Jagmohan Dalmiya admitted that the Bombay High Court’s verdict of terming the two-member probe panel “illegal and unconstitutional” has put them in an “embarrassing position.”

Questioned on the impending crisis that has rocked the cricket board, a perturbed Dalmiya said,”I do not know how big is the crisis is but I can say that it has put us in an embarrassing position.

“I must have received at least 50 to 80 calls since morning. But I want to say that I am equally in dark.”

About the Bombay High Court order, Dalmiya said that he has not received the order.

“Nothing has been communicated to us in the last 24 hours. I have just read it in the media reports. My knowledge is as good as yours.

“I do not know where to go from here, we have to wait and see.”

Quizzed on the next course of action, he replied,”It is a million dollar question.”

He was equally non-committal when asked about who will chair the working committee meeting in Delhi on August 2 as N Srinivasan has declared that he will be attending the meeting.

“Who will chair August 2 meeting? I myself do not know where is the chair… Let me first understand where do I stand… I do not have any information officially. This however does not mean there is some difference with the BCCI,” Dalmiya gave a half-hearted reply.

Meanwhile, former IPL comissioner Lalit Modi asked BCCI members not to blindly support Srinivasan and vice president Arun Jaitley.

“Bcci members wake up and see writing on the wall and not blindly support Srini and Jaitley in this scam. Fans will not accept this from you,” Modi wrote in his twitter page. (PTI)
