7) IPL spot-fixing:
Indian Premier League may have become a platform for cricketers to showcase their talent and get wealthy but for BCCI, N. Srinivasan and his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan it has become the “Indian Problem League”.
In order to keep the 'Gentleman's game' as it is, the apex court of India, Supreme Court made strong observations based on Mudgal Committee report.
Mudgal Committee filed final report in probe against N Srinivasan and others in the 2013 edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) in betting and spot-fixing scandal in Supreme Court.
After Supreme Court's observations BCCI, N. Srinivasan, Chennai Super Kings, Sundar Raman (IPL COO) and MS Dhoni are under the scanner.
8) West Indies pull-out of India tour:
West Indies cricket team arrived in India for 5 ODIs, a T20I and 3 tests but due to pay dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), players decided to abandon the tour after 4th ODI.
It stirred a controversy in ODI cricket as it was not the first time Windies have abandoned the tour in the mid way. BCCI wanted strict actions against and demanded huge sum in compensation. ICC let off West Indies Cricket board and players with a warning that if any incident of this kind is repeated in the future, then the T20 contracts of the players involved will also be terminated.
BCCI then contacted Sri Lanka cricket to fill in the loss caused by West Indies. The tour was scheduled in a hurry that broke the rhythm of the Sri Lanka team which was preparing for the England series and the World Cup. The emergency tour of 'under cooked' Sri Lanka against India resulted in a series disaster for them. India whitewashed Sri Lanka by 5-0.
