The decision to call off the Working Committee meeting was taken after a series of discussions among the top brass of the BCCI and amid fears of a revolt against the Tamil Nadu strongman if he tried to make a comeback under the circumstances.

N Srinivasan's desperate bid to return as BCCI President was thwarted with the under-fire Board deciding to call off its Working Committee meeting here today fearing legal trouble after the Bombay High Court declared its IPL spot-fixing probe "illegal and unconstitutional".

Jagmohan Dalmiya, who was named the interim chief after Srinivasan had stepped aside pending an internal inquiry into the IPL spot-fixing scandal, will continue in the position for the time being.

The decision to call off the Working Committee meeting was taken after a series of discussions among the top brass of the BCCI and amid fears of a revolt against the Tamil Nadu strongman if he tried to make a comeback under the circumstances.

The BCCI, it is learnt, will also appeal in the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court order, which had declared the Board's IPL spot-fixing and betting probe "illegal and unconstitutional" a few days ago.

BCCI sources said that it took intense persuasion from Board vice-President Arun Jaitley, also a legal luminary, Dalmiya and IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla for Srinivasan to back down from his adamant stand.
