The Apex court today proposed Sunil Gavaskar’s name as replacement for N Srinivasan as BCCI President and the batting legend said he will be “honoured” and “happy” to adhere to the directives of the highest court of the land.

“First and foremost, if the highest court suggests something, you have to do so but that has to be on record. I am currently contracted with BCCI as a commentator. But if Supreme Court wants me to do that, I will do it,” Gavaskar said.

“When the Supreme Court asks you, there is no question about it, there is not much you can do and I will be happy to do what they ask me to do”, he told NDTV.

Gavaskar, a former Indian captain, said he would wait for the final order from the court.

“I will consider it, it will be a huge honour that Supreme Court feels I will be good enough to do the job. But we will have to wait and watch until tomorrow in which direction it goes. Let’s not jump the gun,” the former Indian captain said.

Asked if he is prepared for the challenge, Gavaskar said, “As an opening batsman, you have to be prepared for all kinds of challenges, you have to play in all kinds of pitches, you are always prepared for a challenge mentally and physically.

“Even today, although I am happy to be away from the limelight, I am prepared to do what is needed if the Supreme Court wants me to do so,” he added.
