“Depending on what the reply is, the Managing Committee will decide its future course of action.”
It is learnt Pawar also spoke to N Srinivasan, who had to vacate the BCCI president’s post till the probe into the IPL spot fixing and betting scandal is concluded. Dalal said the MCA will cooperate with Mumbai Indians in hosting their remaining two home matches at the Wankhede on May 23 and 25.
“It was also decided that we will not hamper any of Mumbai Indians’ matches. We have no problems with them. We still hope that the final will be played at Wankhede.”
