Denness crisis may be close to solution; Sehwag to stand down?
CricInfo staff - 29 November 2001

Major Indian-based portal sify.com is reporting that a solution to the current ICC-BCCI crisis is close. They report that J Dalmiya and the BCCI are willing to stand Sehwag down for the first Test against England, thus fulfiling the ICC imposed ban. In return they are requesting that the ICC soften their stance on the penalty handed out to Tendulkar, and address other concerns raised by the BCCI. Negotations are still continuing, however, but it appears that the position of both sides is softening.

The first Test between England and India is due to start in Mohali on Monday. Earlier today, the ICC offered to extend the previous deadline of 6:30 am Friday.
