Sydney: ICC chairman and former BCCI president N Srinivasan will watch India’s World Cup semifinal against hosts Australia along with BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur while current president Jagmohan Dalmiya will not be in attendance due to health reasons.
According to BCCI sources, Srinivasan, Thakur and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary will arrive before the match on Thursday but it is highly unlikely that Dalmiya would make it even if India reaches the final.
“Srinivasan, Thakur and Chaudhary will be coming either on March 24 or 25th. Srinivasan in any case will be staying till March 29 in capacity of ICC president. Chaudhary and Thakur are the representatives of BCCI,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on Sunday.
However, there are rumours that Dalmiya and Srinivasan are not on the same page regarding some board-related issues and the Kolkata-based administrator does not want to meet the Tamil Nadu strongman.
Meanwhile, another new development happened in BCCI since the change of guard with Usha Nath Banerjee being appointed as the chief legal advisor of the board. (PTI)
