Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given clear indications that it will not take back any guidelines issued by it for the selectors nor would accept any conditions put forward by Dilip Vengsarkar. BCCI hardened its stand after Dilip Vengsarkar presented the Board with three conditions on whose acceptance his continuation as the chief selector depended. Rajeev Shukla, BCCI vice president said that the guidelines issued by the board will not be taken back. Hence, Vengsarkar is free to take any decision. Shukla also said that Vengsarkar told BCCI that if his conditions are not met, he would consider quitting the post. The three conditions put forward by him are - BCCI should take back all the guidelines issued by it. Secondly, he should get the remuneration which he would lose following BCCI's diktat of gagging selectors from writing columns. Thirdly, he should be sent to Australia with the Indian team for it's tour Down-Under.
However, Shukla said, "The official position is that those guidelines have been framed keeping in mind the constitutional provisions and well-established rules and regulations and they cannot be withdrawn." The board recently issued seven-point guidelines which prevent the selectors from writing columns when in office. Vengsarkar agreed to stick to the guidelines but sought compensations for the same.
Accordingly, the board set up a two-member committee, comprising I S Bindra and Arun Jaitley, which shot down the possibility of any compensation to Vengsarkar. The move has miffed Vengsarkar, who immediately returned home from Kolkata and met fellow selector Ranjib Biswal in Mumbai. Sources close to the chief selector said that it was just a matter of time before Vengsarkar puts in his resignation papers.
