Mr N. Srinivasan can now heave a big sigh of relief. He could be back as president of the Indian cricket board as early as Friday (August 2) at the BCCI’s next working committee meeting in New Delhi.
His son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and India Cements, the company of which he is managing director, have been cleared of all spot-fixing allegations, it was revealed on Sunday at the working committee meeting in Kolkata.
The Delhi and Mumbai police are yet to complete their investigations into the fixing scandal that rocked IPL Season 6 with the arrest of players, bookies and a “team enthusiast” in Gurunath Meiyappan, besides the questioning of Rajasthan Royals’ Raj Kundra.

Balasubramanian submitted a report in which “there is no evidence of any wrongdoing against Raj Kundra, India Cements and Rajasthan Royals,” according to BCCI vice-president
