In his book -- Underneath The Southern Cross -- CSK opener and former Australia batsman Hussey has said that the Chennai IPL team owner and BCCI president N Srinivasan had handed the control of the franchise to his son-in-law Gurunath.
But, Hussey backtracked his assertion, saying that he was not completely clear about Gurunath's position in the CSK team, according to a report.
"I knew he was a close part of the team, no question about that, and I saw him around the team pretty much every day. (But) I am certainly not going to question the word of Mr Srinivasan. I think he would know a lot better than me about who is running the show. So maybe I got that a little bit wrong," he insisted.
Stating that he has cleared the air with Srinivasan when he met him during a team dinner, Hussey said, "We had a team dinner where Mr Srinivasan came along. I spoke to him very briefly about it and apologised if I caused him any grief.
"He was fine and said, 'No, don't worry, it is all fine. There is no issue with all you said. It was all written before all the controversies came out, anyway. You don't have anything to worry about.
