IPL spot-fixing: BCCI working committee to meet in Delhi on Monday

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) working committee will meet in New Delhi on Monday to deliberate on the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing and betting scandal.

The board's head of the interim arrangement, Jagmohan Dalimya, was forced to call the emergent meeting after the Delhi Police claimed that Raj Kundra, a minority shareholder in Rajasthan Royal, has confessed to betting during the IPL matches.

The BCCI is under immense pressure to take a tough stand in a bid to restore the credibility of the IPL which has taken a severe beating following the scandal.

The meeting is also expected to ratify the appointment of Sanjay Patel as the new Honorary Secretary. Patel will be replacing Sanjay Jagdale, who resigned in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal.

The BCCI would also deliberate on filling the post of Treasurer, which was vacated by Ajay Shirke. Shirke also put in his papers following the scandal. But Rajasthan Royal's fate will be the focus of all the attention at the meeting on Monday.
