New Delhi (AFP) – India’s top court Tuesday partially lifted restrictions on the powerful cricket board’s bank accounts, hours after the organisation threatened to cancel the first Test against England on the eve of the match.
The court set aside its previous order barring the board access to its accounts with prior approval from a special panel investigating the functioning of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
“We are fine with the supreme court order because we wanted money for organising the India-England Test series and that has been allowed,” a lawyer representing the board told AFP.
