Manohar re-elected BCCI prez

Shashank Manohar and N Srinivasan today retained unopposed their posts of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president and secretary, respectively, with the closing of nominations today ahead of tomorrow’s 81st AGM.

Also retaining their posts unopposed as treasurer and joint secretary were M P Pandove and Sanjay Jagdale, respectively, at the closing of nominations.

There are two changes in the list of vice presidents with former secretary Niranjan Shah and Rajya Sabha MP Rajiv Shukla replacing Chirayu Amin and suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi from west and central zones, respectively. All the other sub-committees, including the Working Committee, the IPL Governing Council (GC) and the selection committee for senior and junior teams, would be decided tomorrow at the AGM.

The IPL GC is to be reconstituted after an amendment to the Board’s Memorandum of Rules and Regulations at the AGM by curtailing its tenure from the five years to one year.
