New Delhi: India became a "laughing stock" in the Ravindra Jadeja-James Anderson fiasco because of the timidity of BCCI president in-exile N Srinivasan, who played a "puppet" fearing a backlash from the England and Australia boards, Cricket Association of Bihar secretary Aditya Verma said on Saturday.

"With N Srinivasan playing puppet, the Jadeja-Anderson issue was mishandled by BCCI and India came a cropper and proved a laughing stock in the world. This is because of Srinivasan and his cronies at the BCCI," Verma said.
