Srinivasan has been a controversial figure ever since his alleged conflict of interest as the BCCI boss and an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise owner came to light, followed by the ugly IPL spot-fixing and betting case in 2013, which found his son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, guilty.
The BCCI has also passed a motion to amend its constitution to end conflict of interest issues.
