The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCItwo )’s top office holders, President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah, can now run for another three-year term after the Supreme Court decided to change the constitution’s cooling-off clause.
However, it is still not believed that Ganguly will remain in his position. After 33 months of the administrators’ rule imposed by the court, the former India captain was seen as someone who gave the board legitimacy when he was unanimously elected in October 2019.
It’s the body of a member. The requirements for eligibility have changed now. A few more persons would then be qualified. Let the house make the decision, a senior board official stated.
The BCCI’s annual general meeting, for which a notice will be issued soon, will decide whether Ganguly and Shah will remain in office. They couldn’t both be reached for comment.
Officials from the BCCI will also be keeping a watch on the ICC elections, which will take place in November. The current Chairman, Greg Barclay of New Zealand, has expressed interest in serving a second term; however, BCCI might prefer that one of their own fill the position.
Both former and current administrators praised the Supreme Court’s decision, which they believe would support administrative continuity.
BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal stated, “The application was made with the benefit of BCCI in mind and not in the interest of any individuals. “Continuity always benefits any organisation, as long-term objectives are necessary for the sports organisation and cricket. We appreciate the Court’s graciousness in reevaluating and accepting some of our changes.
