The issue of match-fixing in cricket appears to be entering a decisive stage with the Supreme Court taking a tough stand (“ >SC suggests Srinivasan step down ,” Nov. 28). The issue has gone through many twists and turns. In the backdrop of it having generated a controversy, propriety and morality demands that N. Srinivasan step aside. The fact is that the court wants fresh blood in the BCCI. This will be a litmus test for the Board to demonstrate if it is serious about restoring the fair name of cricket.

Till now one was under the impression that match-fixing could be done in connivance with players or captains. But it is shocking to note that it could now involve umpires. It is hoped that the BCCI will follow the recommendations of the Mudgal committee report and reform the tainted image of the game of cricket.
