The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) ethics officer Justice (Retd) DK Jain has adjudged Tamil Nadu Cricket Association president Rupa Gurunath to be in conflict of interest. This is the first time the ethics officer has found a state association president to be in a position of conflict. Rupa, who is the daughter of former BCCI president N Srinivasan, became the TNCA president in 2019. It added: “For all the aforesaid reasons, the Ethics Officer is of the view that a case of conflict of interest is made out against the Respondent. According to senior advocate Raghu Raman, who represented Rupa before the ethics officer, as because it is perceived to be a case of indirect conflict of interest, the BCCI will judge if the conflict is tractable or intractable.
