Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may not have discussed Lalit Modi's scandalous email to International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive David Richardson for the next three months after it was first sent on June 23, 2013.
Last Friday, Modi, in a sensational exposure, had claimed on Twitter that he had written a mail to ICC in June 2013 about Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stars Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo informing the world body about the players being gifted flats and cash in a suspicious manner. ICC reacted by confirming that it indeed received the mail, and "in accordance with its standard operational procedures, its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), shared it with the BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU)."
However, a top BCCI functionary who served the board during that period categorically told us that the email, which Modi sent to the ICC and the ICC claims to have shared with the BCCI, was not discussed.
Former BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit chief Ravi Sawani had confirmed last week that they had received the information from ICC but had not acted upon it since the players involved were of international cadre. Following Sawani's comment, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur gave the players a clean chit saying there had been no wrongdoing on their part.
However, the official we spoke to on Thursday said the email wasn't discussed in the board's working committee meetings at least till September 2013. "This topic was never discussed, at least in all the meetings that I attended in that period ," said a BCCI official.
