Two top officials of the Indian cricket board quit on Friday over an escalating spot-fixing scandal, reports said.

Sanjay Jagdale, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and treasurer Ajay Shirke submitted their resignations to the board president, the NDTV news network and other channels said.

“I don’t want to give any reason, I have sent my resignation to the BCCI president,” Jagdale was quoted as saying by NDTV.

The resignations of Jagdale, the number two in the board hierarchy, and Shirke were likely to pile on more pressure on president N. Srinivasan to quit.

Srinivasan has been under fire to resign after his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested last week for allegedly betting on Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.

Meiyappan, an executive at the Chennai Super Kings IPL team which is owned by Srinivasan’s group India Cements, is being probed by a three-member BCCI commission.

Meiyappan’s arrest came after Test paceman Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and two teammates in his IPL franchise the Rajasthan Royals — Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila — were also taken into custody.

The trio, who deny any wrongdoing, are in jail in New Delhi after police accused them of deliberately bowling badly in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars after striking deals with bookmakers.

Srinivasan, who was elected as the BCCI president in 2011, has been resisting pressure for him to step down and can only be removed if two-thirds of the board’s members vote against him.

Meanwhile, police say a bowler has turned witness and his evidence could be used in the case against his teammates.

Paceman Siddharth Trivedi has recorded testimony for police.

“His statement is important because he has told us he has information on some of the bookies arrested by us,” a police officer, who is part of the investigating team, told AFP on condition of anonymity.

“Trivedi’s statements will be admissible as evidence in the court. It will definitely make our case stronger.”
