Kolkata:
Jagmohan Dalmiya, the interim BCCI chief, on Monday in a press conference said he will leave no stone unturned to maintain the good name of cricket.
Following are the highlights of his press conference from Kolkata:
Initially, all members requested them (Jagdale and Shirke) to carry on
However, Shirke and Jagdale were difficult ... 24 hours' time was given to them to reconsider
As far as Mr Jagdale is concerned, he has said he will not withdraw his resignation
Mr Shirke, I tried to talk to him... we have not received any communication
We will receive the communication one way or other... I will wait
This point will be coming up for discussion... Not today... too early
If there is a vacancy, it will be filled up (regarding appointment of new treasurer and secretary)
A decision will be taken on who'll represent BCCI in the ICC. I am entitled, it is my choice
Don't know what the capability of Jagmohan Dalmiya is
But I will leave no stone unturned to maintain the good name of cricket
We are passing through a difficult time
No one can deny the image of cricket has been tarnished but we can either cry over spilt milk or do something about it
We will try to overcome the situation that we are in
This is no come back. It is temporary. One cannot shy away from responsibility. That is why I accepted
(On continuing at the helm of BCCI) Who has seen the future? Let us get out of our present situation
