New Delhi: With the new BCCI regime embarking on a clean-up operation, former Indian cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar yesterday termed the 'Conflict of Interest' issue as a "myth", saying he has always spoken his mind irrespective of whether it toes the board's line or not.

The Shashank Manohar-led board cracked the whip on conflict of interest in the Annunal General Meeting, unveiling a slew of reforms, including the appointment of a retired judge as its ombudsman. When asked to throw light on the conflict issue, Gavaskar said the his analyst role never clashed with any position he has held in BCCI or ICC.
