MUMBAI: BCCI’s first chief executive officer Rahul Johri, who had tendered his resignation a while ago, might have to wait a little more before he is relieved of the plum job by the Board.
BCCI sources were quoted by PTI as having said on Sunday that Johri, appointed in 2016 to the then newly-formed position, had made up his mind to step down after the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) exited the scene in October last year, paving the way for the Sourav Ganguly-led team to take charge.
“Johri’s resignation will be accepted but it might take some time. He is trying to negotiate,” a source told the newswire.
Johri was appointed when Shashank Manohar was BCCI president and Anurag Thakur was its secretary.
Johri’s resignation was preceded by the exits of BCCI chief financial officer Santosh Rangnekar in November and National Cricket Academy chief operating officer Toofan Ghosh in December.
