The Supreme Court, on the 20th of July, Wednesday, adjourned the hearing of a plea by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI.)
In the petition to the Apex Court, the BCCI sought an extension of the tenures of Mr. Sourav Ganguly and Mr. Jay Shah as board president and secretary, respectively. The matter has been listed for hearing on the next day, the 21st of July, Thursday.
It is to be noted, that the former India captain Mr. Sourav Ganguly took charge as the BCCI chief in October 2019.
Ganguly’s administrative career began as a secretary at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) in 2014. Eventually, he became the CAB president. He was re-elected for the post in 2019 before being appointed as the BCCI president.
According to Sportstar, the BCCI has also requested the apex court to amend a rule in its constitution which states that the board administrators will require to go through a three-year ‘cooling-off period’ after serving for six straight years in the Indian cricket board or any state association.
The requests of the BCCI in the petition would be reviewed by the Top Court on the 21st of July, Thursday.
