Earlier in the day, the supreme court refused to stop all remaining matches of Indian Premier League (IPL) in view of the spot-fixing scandal. The court said entire IPL can‘t be banned just because of certain irregularities on the part of a few players. The court asked the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure that "cricket should remain a gentleman‘s game".
Slamming the BCCI, the court said, "Definitely there is some kind of irregularity. But the biggest problem is the lackadaisical attitude of the BCCI. It should stop. There has to be some scientific dispassionate and impartial approach to solve these problems."
The apex court directed the one-man inquiry committee appointed by BCCI to submit its report within 15 days on the spot-fixing scandal.
