The Supreme Court pronounced its crucial order in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vs Lodha committee matter. BCCI president Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shirke were removed from their posts. The Supreme Court will now appoint administrators.
Gopal Subramanium and Fali Nariman will now suggest names for an interim Committee. It emerges that former India captain Sourav Ganguly seems to be the front-runner to replace Thakur as board president.
The board is now checking if TC Matthew (vice-president, West Zone) and Gautam Roy (vice-president, West Zone) qualify for the post. Dr. G Gangaraju (vice-president, South Zone), CK Khanna (vice-president, Central Zone) and ML Nehru (vice-president, North Zone) don't qualify because of the new criteria.
The next hearing will take place in January 19 when names of the interim board will be decided.
