Shashank Manohar set to replace N Srinivasan as ICC chairman
The Former BCCI Cheif didn’t Attend The Annual General Meeting so, The Tamilnadu Cricket Assosiation was Represented by Vice-President P S Raman.
The Board also chose to trim a few of its sub-committees, dropped Indian Team Director Ravi Shastri from the IPL Governing Council and axed Roger Binny from the selection panel to negate the perceived conflict of interest. The board is also expected to discuss several other matters, including the two new franchises planned for the IPL, according to ESPNcricinfo. BCCI’s no-nonsense president, Shashank Manohar, has come out with a 29-point agenda, which aims at removing conflict of interest at all levels within the BCCI.
Narayanaswami Srinivasan’s tenure as the global Cricket Council chairman was cut short on Monday after the powerful Indian board withdrew support for its former president.
The proposed India-Pakistan bilateral cricket series next month will only be possible if the Indian government gives permission, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) president Shashank Manohar said today. “We took the decision looking at the performance of selectors”, Mr Manohar said on Hans. “We are getting the same people (on committees) again and again”, said Bedi in reference to the appointment of Ganguly as the new technical committee chief.
The conflict would arise if he has a commercial interest in the Board.
Rajeev Shukla retained as the chairman of IPL.
The president referred to the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fix scandal that resulted in the Supreme Court forming the Justice Mudgal Committee to probe it. Meiyappan was also declared ineligible for participation in any cricket activities for 5 years by the panel. I stated there shouldn’t be injustice to Stuart Binny additionally. “So we can’t destroy his career”, Manohar said.
“To revive series between India and Pakistan both the government should step in and have to take a decision”.
“But I have a problem of players challenging umpires decision because we were brought up not to challenge the umpires decision and DRS is actually challenging umpires decision”.
Chennai-based Srinivasan rose to become one of the most influential men in world cricket, helped along by the sport’s popularity in India that made the BCCI the richest cricket board.
