Muthiah to miss ICC meet

CHENNAI, MAY 1. Mr. A.C. Muthiah, President, Board of Control for Cricket in India, will not be attending the crucial meeting of the International Cricket Council in London tomorrow following the sudden death of his mother on Sunday night.

Mrs. Abhirami Chidambaram (79), wife of the late M.A. Chidambaram, former President of BCCI, who died in January this year, had been ailing for some time. But Mr. Muthiah was keen to be present in London for the meeting, which comes in the wake of the raging controversy over betting and match fixing scandal.

Mr. Muthiah was informed of the sad news in Frankfurt while on way to London. He has decided to skip the meeting and return to the city tomorrow.
