If owner involved in betting, team must be scrapped: Subrata Roy
Later, speaking to Times Now channel, Sahara Group chief Subrata Roy said that if “the owner is involved in betting, then his/her IPL team should be scrapped.”
Roy also said that so long as N Srinivasan remains the BCCI chief, the Sahara Group will not sponsor Team India.
He demanded the termination of Srinivasan’s contract with BCCI. Roy’s Sahara Group had pulled out its team Pune Warriors India from IPL after BCCI decided to encash its bank guarantee following a financial dispute between the sports body and Sahara.
“We had no choice but to quit IPL. The BCCI chief did not even bother to reply to our letter. His behaviour was arrogant and a person like Srinivasan does not deserve to run BCCI,” said Roy.
