Hussey claims Srinivasan made Meiyappan Chennai Super Kings' team boss

Australian batsman Michael Hussey has spoken out against corruption in the Chennai Super Kings franchise in his new book 'Underneath the Southern Cross'.

Hussey has expressed in the book that N. Srinivasan's son-in law Gurunath Meiyappan was given the leeway to entirely run the team by his father-in-law.

Meiyappan's name has been removed from every aspect of the franchise now and was earlier seen supporting the team from the dugouts during matches.

The revelations do not come at the right time for Srinivasan, who is fighting a case to be able to carry on with his duties as BCCI President.
