Talking about the recent spot-fixing scandal, BCCI chief N Srinivasan told CNN-IBN: "IPL has not let down people, it is these dirty cricketers who have done this. No punishment is enough for them. If these dirty cricketers are found guilty, they should not be allowed to play anymore and should be sent to jail."

Srinivasan said the fault lies with the greed of the players and that the tournament was not fixed. He said the BCCI is a private body and RTI Act does not apply to it. "The fault lies with the greed of the players," he added.
