BCCI probe ruled illegal

An Indian court ruled Tuesday a probe ordered by the country's cricket chiefs into a betting scandal was illegal, causing further trouble for cricket head Narayanaswami Srinivasan, reports said.
The Bombay High Court, which retains Mumbai's former name, ruled a panel set up to probe the betting scandal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) competition was "illegal" and "unconstitutional".
The ruling comes just two days after the panel's report, leaked to the media, found no wrongdoing by senior cricket officials or IPL owners over the scandal.
Tuesday's ruling could derail the return of Srinivasan, who stepped aside temporarily as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India on June 2.
