The question whether beleaguered Indian cricket board president N Srinivasan will get a third year in office will be decided on Friday by the Supreme Court when it hears a plea seeking to restrain him from chairing Sunday's Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the board in Chennai.
“All right, we will hear it Friday,” said a bench headed by justice AK Patnaik when counsel for Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) sought an urgent hearing of the plea before the Chennai AGM.
