Commonwealth Games organiser Suresh Kalmadi is demanding compensation from Indian cricket officials after they refused to postpone a Test series against Australia that clashes with the event in New Delhi.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been asked to give Rs 100 crore (£14 million) to the Games – the biggest event to be staged in India since the 1982 Asian Games.
The Indian Olympic Association, headed by Kalmadi, claims that the BCCI's decision to stage a Test series against Australia at the same time as the Games will damage television viewers and make it less attractive to sponsors.
"A letter has been received for financial help in holding the Commonwealth Games," confirmed a spokesman for the BCCI.
"It’s up to the working committee which meets on July 31 to take a decision."
