New Delhi: BCCI president N Srinivasan has outrightly denied that the ICC warned the Indian board about his arrested son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings' CEO and Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan's links with bookies.
"I have received no information from the ICC," he said after CNN-IBN accessed the transcripts of conversation between arrested Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh and Meiyappan, which led to this big revelation in the ongoing IPL scandal.

The transcripts also reveal Meiyappan giving specific orders to Vindoo on the amounts of bets to be placed. Meiyappan's instructions were also about specific players in other IPL teams playing on a day. The conversation also revealed that Meiyappan was even instructing bets on specific runs in an over, which brings him under the spot-fixing scanner as well. ...
