New Delhi: The Supreme Court installed batting legend Sunil Gavaskar as the interim head of India's troubled Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Friday in place of the scandal-tainted incumbent N. Srinivasan.

Gavaskar would be made "interim working president" of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the court said, adding that the appointment would place him in overall charge of the upcoming edition of the annual Indian Premier League (IPL) which begins next month.
