ICC chairman and former BCCI president N Srinivasan will watch India’s World Cup semifinal against Australia along with BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur while current president Jagmohan Dalmiya will not be in attendance due to health reasons.
According to BCCI sources, Srinivasan, Thakur and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary will arrive before the match on Thursday but it is highly unlikely that Dalmiya would make it.
However, Dalmiya’s case is a bit interesting as it is believed that he cannot meet the physically demanding travel schedule.
“Jaggu da is an old man now. He is not fit enough to travel 12 hours from Kolkata to Melbourne and back. It will be physically demanding and it won’t be possible for him. It’s more than 90 percent assured that he won’t be travelling to Australia,” a Dalmiya confidant said. However, there are rumours that Dalmiya and Srinivasan are not on the same page regarding some board-related issues.
