NewsX: Former BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya is likely to be a compromise candidate to take up the post of the BCCI interim chief

This in case Shashank Manohar refuses to take it up. Sources are also saying that Arun Jaitley is not keen to take up the BCCI hot seat in an election year.

According to sources, Niranjan Shah is now emerging as the strongest contender. Sources are also saying, a Steering Committee may be initiated so that powers don't rest on one individual as interim president.

The bigger question however is, will Srinivasan's stepping down clean up indian cricket???

As most senior BCCI members and contenders for presidentship have a tainted past.
