A day after two of its senior functionaries called it quits, the crisis-hit BCCI's Vice President Arun Jaitley today said, the next 24 hours could bring about a significant development in the unfolding drama.He was speaking to newsmen in Delhi. Mr. Jaitley is one of the five Vice Presidents of the Board.

BCCI Joint Secretary Anurag Thakur said, BCCI could be forced to prepone its Emergency Working Committee meeting due to the crisis created by the resignation of two senior Board functionaries.

He said, the Board President has been requested to prepone the meeting and discuss the issues in a fair and transparent manner as soon as possible. Asked if he would put in his papers, Mr. Thakur was evasive.

He reiterated that Srinivasan should resign in the interest of fairness. Srinivasan has, however, convened an Emergency Working Committee meeting next week hours after information spilled out that the ICC had warned Meiyappan to keep away from bookies at the start of IPL.

The under-fire N Srinivasan's adamant stand of sticking on to the post of BCCI President despite the damaging IPL spot-fixing scam last night prompted Board Treasurer Ajay Shirke and Secretary Sanjay Jagdale to resign in protest.

The crisis in the BCCI has deepened with every passing day after Srinivasan's son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested for alleged involvement in betting.
