The most important administrator in world cricket, Int'l Cricket Council Chair N. Srinivasan, "was placed under formal suspicion by the Supreme Court of India." He "could potentially face a fight to hold on to his position as de-facto leader of the world game as a result and the development has the potential to cause acute embarrassment to the England and Wales Cricket Board." Srinivasan "was one of four names revealed by the SC to be under investigation for unspecified and unverified 'misdemeanours.'" The others are Srinivasan’s son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, "a key figure" in Indian Premier League side Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals co-Owner Raj Kundra and IPL CEO Sundar Raman (LONDON TIMES, 11/15). ... The Australian Football League Fans Association "has unsuccessfully pushed for a late seat at the table ahead of Monday's fan experience summit." Club representatives, along with stadium operators and ticketing agencies will gather for the two-day conference held jointly across the MCG and Etihad Stadium, at which a raft of measures to improve match-day experience "will be discussed, and the supporters' body believes that its voice should be heard." However "the league knocked back the approach, believing that the data it had obtained from clubs, fans and the media over the past eight months, meant that the league had more than enough information from supporters to use in the summit" (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 11/16).
