Stepping up his tirade against BCCI President-in-exile N Srinivasan, Cricket Association of Bihar Secretary Aditya Verma today shot off missives to the Prime Ministers of India, England and Australia to intervene in the matter through the parent body ICC.
Verma also appealed to BCCI and its affiliated units not to nominate the "tainted" Srinivasan in a separate letter urging them to reply in a week or else he would take up his 'battle' to the Supreme Court of India.
Claiming that Srinivasan had violated the Apex Court's order by representing BCCI at the ICC and ACC, Verma said: "It seems he considers himself to be higher than the Supreme Court, I don't understand what Mr Srinivasan is made of."
Explaining the reason to write to the three nations, Verma said: "It's because India, England and Australia are the powerhouses of world cricket. If the PMs of the respective country put pressure on their respective Boards, I think Srinivasan can be removed."
"Nobody in the Indian cricket wants to come face to face and oppose him... Why the affiliated units are keeping mum, we can't tolerate all this. I've full faith in the legal system, justice can be delayed but not denied," he said referring to the Supreme Court order which required Srinivasan to step down till the completion of the probe into the spot-fixing scandal.
