New Delhi, May 29:
Frustrated with the spot-fixing scandal and a series of other controversies that have plagued the Indian Premier League, the event’s chairman Rajeev Shukla today said he was not keen to take up the position again.
Shukla said his tenure was for a one-year period which is renewed every year and he was not willing to take up the high-profile post for a third consecutive term.
“IPL Chief is a one-year post which gets renewed every year in the AGM but I don’t intend to do the job for a third year,” Shukla said in an interview here.
“I am not craving for any position in the BCCI, my job was to organise the matches and the matches were well organised. The stadiums were packed irrespective of the controversies,” he said.
“I have never hankered for any position. When the IPL Chairman’s position was given to me, I took it up as a challenge and I did my job to the best of my ability,” he added. (PTI)
