Former India captain and legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar said Thursday he was ready to become interim president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as proposed by the Supreme Court.

"Mr. N.Srinivasan is innocent till proven guilty. But as an opener I am ready for any challenge," Gavaskar told NDTV.

The Supreme Court Thursday proposed that Gavaskar or any other former cricketer of his stature should take over as the interim president of the BCCI replacing incumbent Narayanaswami Srinivasan.
