Just a month after former cricketer and selector Mohinder Amarnath claimed that the president of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), N. Srinivasan, had vetoed a move to sack Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the captain of Indian Test team, his allegation gained support with his company India Cements now employing the player as a vice-president.

The move has raised questions about conflict of interest within the BCCI. People had earlier questioned the shield for Dhoni despite a poor run of results and pointed to the fact that he was the captain of Srinivasan-owned IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Having the Indian team captain leading India Cements' team makes it more marketable.

The BCCI chief's latest move would certainly raise eyebrows. The BCCI chief's latest move would certainly raise eyebrows.

The BCCI chief's latest move would certainly raise eyebrows as only a month ago Amarnath had revealed how the board president intervened when the selection committee wanted to sack Dhoni as Test skipper after a horrendous run of results. After this move, appointing Dhoni as India Cements vice-president and captain of the company's cricket team would raise more questions about the conflict.

Given the many connections that Dhoni and Srinivasan share, questions are also being raised about the number of players from CSK and Tamil Nadu called up for India duty. But Srinivasan never came out to clarify why he had shot down the proposal to sack Dhoni.

Meanwhile, questions were also being asked on Dhoni's decision to refuse to play the Irani Trophy citing workload for national team. But his logic for not playing Irani Trophy is contradicted by him being named as the India Cements captain for the BCCI Corporate Trophy.
