We are not for vendetta: Shashank Manohar
Srinivasan was fondly remembered for his role as the Board secretary from 2008-11
Mumbai: They might have been at loggerheads in the recent past, but the newly appointed BCCI president Shashank Manohar had high praise for his one-time colleague N. Srinivasan. The under-fire TNCA president who chose to stay away from Sunday’s SGM was fondly remembered for his role as the Board secretary from 2008-11.
“We are not working here with a vindictive attitude. The entire Board — all 30 members including the Tamil Nadu CA was united that all of us have to work together to build the image of this Board,” he said.
Having formed a formidable parternership during his first tenure as president, Manohar credited Srinivasan for his outstanding job. “I can tell you Srinivasan was an excellent secretary, he was better than most of the secretaries I have come across in the Board.
“He was one of the best secretaries to have as I found out during my (2008-09 to 2010-11) tenure. I don’t know what happened after I completed my term in 2011. I was not in touch. Srinivasan was by far the best secretary after Mr Dalmiya,” Manohar said.
