BCCI Vice President Niranjan Shah cleared the air and said that he had no problems with president-in-exile N Srinivasan.

Earlier, Shah said that N Srinivasan could return as the Board chief and chair the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council (GC) meeting on August 2 as the probe panel has found no evidence against his team Chennai Super Kings in the spot-fixing and betting scandal.

"He himself has stepped down and now as probe is already finished, given to the working committee already, Srinivasan can come any time he wants to. He can chair the meeting," Shah said when asked if Srinivasan can chair the GC meeting in the capital.

The Board's Working Committee and the IPL Governing Council will meet to take a final call on the issue after the two-member panel, comprising former High Court Judges T Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian, submitted its report to the BCCI Working Committee which met in Kolkata on Sunday.

The panel was mandated to enquire into the roles of Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was the Team Prinicipal of Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and its co-owner Raj Kundra.
