The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to convene a Special General Meeting to sack their former chief, which will directly affect his current position as International Cricket Council`s (ICC) chairman.
The fight between the pro-Srinivasan and anti-Srinivasan lobbies is reaching the tipping point and there are indications that the BCCI is now likely to gun for N Srinivasan`s ouster from the post of ICC chairman.
This comes a day after the internal feud within the BCCI took an ugly turn with Board Secretary Thakur launching a stinging attack on ICC Chairman Srinivasan, saying that he should actually share information on bookies with his own family members "whose involvement in betting has been proved".
A day after ICC issued an advisory to Thakur to stay away from suspected bookies, the BCCI secretary hit back at Srinivasan through an open letter in which he questioned the timing of the "counter offensive" initiated at the behest of the ICC Chairman.
Sources said these members are planning to call a Special General Body (SGM) meeting soon after the IPL gets over to get their way.
There are reports that the SGM will be called on May 24, the day of IPL final. Incidentally, Lalit Modi was suspended after the final of IPL 3 in 2010.
"To oust Srinivasan, the ruling group will require two-thirds majority which is 21 units. If they can`t ensure 21 votes, they won`t call SGM for sure. Dalmiya and Thakur will have to ensure there are 21 votes in their favour," a member of Dalmiya faction told PTI.
Sources in the other camp indicated that Srinivasan is aware of the developments and is preparing to get Thakur sidelined in the board by offering an olive branch to BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, and if need be, even former president Sharad Pawar.
