MUMBAI: One big fish down, another to follow? The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) chief financial officer Santosh Rangnekar tendered his resignation on Friday, becoming the first high-profile executive appointed by the Committee of Administrators to quit.
Rangnekar was BCCI’s first-ever CFO.
The question uppermost at the moment is whether BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri, largely perceived as erstwhile CoA chief Vinod Rai’s man, will survive much beyond (or even till then) the Indian cricket board’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled to be held here on December 1.
“We have received a circular from the BCCI that the AGM will be held on December 1 in Mumbai,” an office-bearer of a prominent state unit told PTI.
Among the points that the members would like to revisit are age-cap of 70 years, cooling off period of three years after a period of six years along with curtailing powers of the executives including the chief executive officer.
However, for any amendment in the registered constitution as per Supreme Court judgement on August 9, 2018, the BCCI will have to appeal to the Apex court for the particular change.
“Obviously the old guard of BCCI wants to come back in power. Therefore all the principal points of Lodha Reforms will be reviewed. It is expected that the house will agree that BCCI should appeal to the Supreme Court for revocation of those clauses,” said a member of the state association.
