BCCI elects Jagmohan Dalmiya as Board's Working President

An Emergency Working Committee Meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today elected its former chief Jagmohan Dalmiya as the board's Working President after incumbent N Srinivasan stepped aside from the post.BCCI sources said this evening at Chennai that Mr Dalmiya was elected as the Working President after Mr Srinivasan resigned following allegations of spot-fixing and betting against his son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings Principal Gurunathan Meiyappan in the just-concluded IPL-6 cricket.This led to intense pressure from BCCI functionaries, cricketing fraternity and the media on Mr Srinivasan to quit.The BCCI had appointed a three-member Commission to probe the allegations.
