Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary and Chennai Super Kings boss N Srinivasan has denied Andrew Flintoff was clinched by the Indian Premier League franchise through player fixing at last year's auction.
CNN-IBN reported that Srinivasan and Lalit Modi, "could have been involved in ensuring specific players for the Chennai franchise in unison with suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi."
"I didn't violate any rule. We bought Flintoff fair and square. We followed all the procedures," Srinivasan
told MiD DAY last night.
Modi is believed to have emailed Srinivasan: "What a nightmare to convince them not to terminate (Sohail) Tanvir and also not to take Flintoff. Warne went off the handle. But have managed it by using stick and carrot strategy. Thus they have USD 1.875mn. Much love Lalit."
