IPL scam: BCCI announces names of Working Group members
The decision to form a working group was taken during the IPL Governing Council meeting in Mumbai on Sunday
The group will include four members- Rajeev Shukla, Chairman of IPL, Anurag Thakur, Secretary, BCCI, Anirudh Chaudhry, Treasurer of BCCI and Sourav Ganguly, Member, Governing Council of IPL.
The committee will be assisted by the legal advisor of BCCI, U.N.Banerjee
"The committee will share their recommendations with the Governing Council within a time frame of 6 weeks after consulting all the key stakeholders," the BCCI said in a statement.
In a big blow to Indian Premier League (IPL), the major money spinner in Indian cricket, Justice Lodha panel recently banned for life CSK team official Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra from all forms of cricket in connection with the infamous IPL betting case.
Meyappan is the son-in-law of the controversial former BCCI chief N Srinivasan.
In what could take out the sheen more out of the glamourous and tumultuously popular IPL, the three-member committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge RM Lodha also suspended two-time premier league champions Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, winners of the maiden version of the cash-rich league.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also the skipper of CSK.
