Game 628 of IPL4 was in full swing, but the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the BCCI had more delicate matters to deal with as they met covertly with their Security Chief.
Chairman “So, you have an update on Target X. Go ahead”
Security Chief: “Yes, we now have a confirmed ID on Target X’s whereabouts. Incredibly he is living right under the nose of one of his biggest enemies”
Chairman “Which enemy? There are many…”
Security Chief: “Giles Clarke. Target X is in Londonistan”
Chairman: “Hardly a surprise. The British have a long track record of letting extremists in".
Deputy Chairman "Exactly. Look how they welcomed that Stanford chap? They let him land his helicopter at Lord’s for Sachin’s sake. How did you find him?”
Security Chief “From his Tweets. As you know he’s always been a prolific user of Twitter and recently his activity has doubled. That enabled us to establish his exact location”
Chairman: “Good, but that means he must be planning another spectacular. Any ideas?”
Security Chief “Well, it cannot be a coincidence that the Indian team arrives for their tour of England in July…”
Chairman: “True. And we still haven’t found out how Duncan Fletcher got appointed as coach? None of us actually voted for him. And there are strong rumours of Ashley Giles applying for Indian citizenship”
Security Chief: “We believe that Target X was behind that the Fletcher appointment and the Giles fiasco too. It must be linked to some grand plan for the whole Indian team.”
Chairman: “But what could this plan be? Do you think he is planning to sign the whole squad for some rogue T20 league in England? That could make the IPL worthless and deprive India of its national side? Imagine that? Irfan Pathan might have to be recalled”
Deputy Chairman: “By the blood of Sachin, not Pathan. Target X wouldn’t dare. Remember what happened to the ICL?”
Chairman” “Yes, but it was Target X that rendered the ICL impotent. Remember he doesn’t work for us anymore.”
Deputy Chairman: “So, what should we do?”
Security Chief: “I’ve been working on that too especially as Target X’s plans remain unclear for now. Have you heard of Seal Team 6? They’ve just solved a little problem for the US Government in Pakistan…”
