The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced an extended term of President Sourav Ganguly and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah.
On September 14, the Supreme Court allowed the BCCI to make amendments in their constitution in terms of positions. With the approval of the Top Court, Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah will continue their terms for one more time, for the next three years.
Notably, the BCCI filed a petition in the Top Court, demanding approval for an amendment into their constitution regarding the extension of terms of the BCCI officials. The amendments included in the position of the President and the Secretary.
The court order read, “It has been submitted that this provision should be modified to reflect that it comes into effect after an office bearer has completed 2 consecutive terms. In other words, BCCI and State association office bearers would have to complete cooling off periods only.”
The court also ordered that in the days to come, now a BCCI administrator will have to take a cooling off period only after 2 consecutive terms (which will be of 3 years each), be it a state association or in the BCCI.
