The BCCI will have to look for a new interim secretary and treasurer
after Sanjay Jagdale and Ajay Shirke refused to reconsider their
resignation tendered in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal that has
rocked Indian cricket.
"They (Jagdale and Shirke) have informed that they are not coming back," Anurag Thakur said on Monday (June 3).
With Jagdale and Shirke's refusal to come back, it will be a blow for Jagmohan Dalmiya-led working group to function smoothly.
"I will be carrying out the function of BCCI secretary till the time we convene a Special General Body Meeting. In order to elect or select a new secretary and treasurer, we need to hold a Special General Body meeting," Thakur explained.
Asked about the allegation levelled by former BCCI President Inderjit Singh Bindra, who termed the working committee meeting as "worse than match fixing," Thakur said "I don't wish to make any comments."
Shirke and Jagdale had resigned on Friday in protest of the manner the BCCI, under the stewardship of N Srinivasan, functioned post the spot-fixing scandal and the arrest of three cricketers and president's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan.
At the meeting on Sunday, Srinivasan apparently refused to accept the resignation of the duo and they were given 24 hours to reconsider their stand.
As they had maintained since Sunday, the duo stood by their decision of not returning to the Board.
