I am not going to come back to BCCI fold: Jagdale

A day after resigning from the post of Board secretary in the wake of IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, Sanjay Jagdale ruled out the possibility of making a comeback into the BCCI fold in future.

"I am not even looking at the possibility of coming back into the BCCI fold. I think I am done with my innings," Jagdale told reporters.

The 62-year-old top official, along with treasurer Ajay Shirke, on Friday quit from their respective posts in a bid to put pressure on beleaguered BCCI President N Srinivasan.

Jagdale said a "massive" clean-up job is required to rid the game of corruption.

"The spot-fixing and betting scandal in the IPL has badly dented the image of cricket. A massive clean-up job is required to overcome this. But this will take time as the damage done is very big.

"It is very difficult to stop fixing in cricket and BCCI has its own limitations. But the the Board can strengthen its surveillance and curb the menace of fixing. At the same time, the BCCI will have to take strict action against cricketers who are found guilty."

On whether his decision to resign was meant to put the under-fire Srinivasan under pressure to quit the top post, Jagdale said, "My resignation has got nothing to do with whether Srinivasan stays or goes.

"My decision to resign is personal and whether Srinivasan wants to resign or not would be entirely his decision."

Jagdale said he would no longer be a part of the three-man inquiry commission set up by the BCCI to go into allegations against Srinivasan's son-in-low and CSK Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan, who was arrested on charges of betting in IPL, and Rajasthan Royals franchise.

"I don't want to be a part of it because I am not comfortable with the idea. I am not directly related to IPL and only those who have been part of this IPL organisation should be kept in this inquiry commission."
