The honorable Supreme Court once again has rejected the plea of Mr Shrini; and thus has closed the doors for his early return at the helms, before a thorough probe is through. The question automatically arises here as to why he is so keen to return to the state of affairs, despite so much embarrassments to his name and fame? Once a respected chairman of a cement company stands subdued in pride and respect, by degrees. Yet, he wants to hog the limelight once again. Why? Is it fame; or money; or something else?
Despite being held accountable in the burgeoning match-fixing menace by the Mudgal committee report, he is tipped to be the next ICC chairman; and if he is stopped from the looking after the affairs of BCCI, he will face severe criticism from other quarters about his abilities, probity and effectiveness; and will be prevented from becoming the ICC chief. And if he makes it anyhow, will face severe criticism from other members. He has dealt the conflict of interest issue with disdain and has smudged the fixing allegation similarly; and in a haste he contrived and maneuvered the findings of the probe committee--a team headed by his own men--and got his son in law acquitted of all the allegations of spot fixing. This man should be held responsible for not handling the issue properly--i.e. with a proper mechanism at its place--and thus bringing disrepute and ignominy to BCCI in the world cricketing fraternity.
The match fixing behemoth is a demon which is trying to destroy the basic fabric of this sports and its sportsmanship; and keeping such a person at the helm will be detrimental to the game as well as to its lovers. The honorable Supreme court is absolutely right in rejecting his review petition and urging the BCCI to complete the probe at an earliest.
Ironically, the man with a good fortune should have chosen the noble path of giving up worldly pleasures of his involvements in all sports administration activities; and would have concentrated on his core business; but, for God known reasons--or known to himself--what is playing as the driving force for his aspirations of heading the sports body again and again, is hard to assimilate.He was unable to clean the Augean stable at home and will leave the world cricket body in a greater mess--which is in greater emergency under the fixing threats--once given the reins of ICC. The governing body of ICC should ruminate hard and act quickly to respond to this situation, treating it as an emergency to save the game of gentlemen, and should stop such an inapt person from becoming its boss; and earlier it responds to this exigency, the better. Because, it is always better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent.
