Sheela Bhatt reports from in New Delhi: According to a member of the BCCI,  "Tomorrow President N Srinivasan will step aside if not step down from his current position."

While talking to rediff.com he said that the it was unlikely that the BCCI will allow Srinivasan to have his say while stepping aside. Neither a new  treasurer nor a new secretary of Srinivasan's choice will be appointed.

In fact, the murky politics of the BCCI will take a new turn tomorrow. After,  the exit of the tainted president the balance of power will shift too.

The Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party and Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar are playing games behind the scene. Arun Jaitley and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi are working in tandem to ensure that their stakes remain unaffected. Both are working out a strategy and are not meek players in power politics inside the BCCI to be lead or directed by television reports or headlines screaming in newspapers, says a source in the BCCI board. 

When Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested Jaitley and Modi had told Srinivasan to step down but still they kept away from creating headlines. Now, once Srinivasan loses control of the BCCI a new clique will emerge. However, Srinivasan is an old player when it comes to power politics in the world of cricket. BCCI board members claim nobody is underestimating Srinivasan, even when his chips are down.
