The Indian Olympic Association, headed by Kalmadi, claims the BCCI's decision to stage the Test series will damage television viewers and make the Games less attractive to sponsors.
The India-Australia series is due to begin on October 2 (the day before the Opening Ceremony in Delhi) with the second match starting on October 10 (due to finish the day after the Closing Ceremony).
"A letter has been received for financial help in holding the Commonwealth Games," said a BCCI spokesman. "Its up to the working committee which meets on July 31 to take a decision."
The BCCI is one of the richest national governing bodies in the world with a 2009 income of Rs 1000 ($215 million). Last year the BCCI gave the All India Football Federation Rs 25 crore ($5.3 million) to help them prepare for the Asian Cup.
