AFP, New Delhi :
Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar said he was willing to take the helm of India’s embattled cricket board Thursday, following a request by the Supreme Court designed to stem the damage from a betting scandal.
At a dramatic hearing in New Delhi, a panel of judges also called for the banning of two teams from this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL), in a potentially devastating blow to a tournament which begins next month.
After warning the incumbent N. Srinivasan that they could order him to quit, the judges proposed 64-year-old Gavaskar take over on an interim basis as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
