Pressure mounts on Srinivasan

Pressure mounted Saturday on the beleaguered president of India's cricket board N. Srinivasan to resign a day after two top cricketing officials -- board joint secretary Sanjay Jagdale and treasurer Ajay Shirke -- quit over an escalating spot-fixing scandal.
Eyes have now turned to an emergency meeting to be held Sunday by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in Chennai.
On Friday evening, the isolated BCCI chief, ruled out his resignation after earlier saying he would not be "bulldozed or railroaded" into quitting when he had done no wrong.
Srinivasan has been pressed to step down after his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested last week for allegedly taking part in the illegal betting row embroiling the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL).
BCCI joint secretary Anurag Thakur announced an emergency board meeting for Sunday so that he and other members could "speak their minds".
"All these issues will be discussed during the meeting," he told reporters.
IPL Commissioner Rajiv Shukla said "some announcement is likely to be made there", without elaborating.
Media reports say all the five vice presidents of the world's richest cricket body were ready to resign if Srinivasan refuses to step aside himself.
