Manohar, Srinivasan Elected Unopposed in BCCI

Mumbai: Shashank Manohar and N Srinivasan on Tuesday retained unopposed their posts of Cricket Board president and secretary respectively with the closing of nominations ahead of the 81st AGM.

Srinivasan was also the lone nomination received for the president-elect's post to take over the reins of the Board at the 82nd AGM in September next year, according to a media release from the BCCI.

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 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 current five years to one year.

According to sources, Amin, Shah, Shukla, Jaitley and either Jyotiraditya Scindia or Anurag Thakur would be in the new committee, along with the elected principal office bearers as ex-officio members.
