There has been air of panic since cricket board president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke were dismissed. The decision was taken to introduce the flair of more transparency in the system.
The decision brought enough heat with it, when just a day after Anurag Thakur and Brijesh Patel were asked to abandon the position, Brijesh Patel (Karnataka State Cricket Association bearer) and two others such candidates suggested their resignation.
