NewDelhi: India's cricket chiefs on Saturday turned down a request from beleaguered Commonwealth Games organisers for a grant of one billion rupees (22 million dollars).
Games organiser Suresh Kalmadi earlier this month asked the cash-rich Indian cricket board (BCCI) for financial assistance as costs escalated for the Games to be held in New Delhi from October 3-14.
The BCCI's decision-making working committee, which met in Mumbai on Saturday, decided to turn down Kalmadi's request, without giving any reason.
