Manohar to replace NS as ICC chairman?
A slew of changes are expected to take place during the annual general body meeting of the BCCI on November 9, including the possible replacement of N Srinivasan by BCCI president Shashank Manohar as International Cricket Council chairman, reports in Indian media have suggested.
“After Jagmohan Dalmiya’s death and the change at the top, equations within the BCCI have changed. The secretary Anurag Thakur and president Manohar now enjoy the numbers. Of late, the secretary and president haven’t been happy with the way Srinivasan has been representing BCCI at the ICC,” an unnamed BCCI official told the Indian Express newspaper on Monday.
There has been talk that there was a difference of opinion between the ICC chairman and the BCCI’s top officials about the venues of the World T20 Championship in India next year, the newspaper reported.
Tamil Nadu strongman Srinivasan became the first ICC chairman after the 2014 revamp of the world body, with a two-year term, but it’s the prerogative of the BCCI to decide its representative. If Manohar is accepted by all members, the new board president will serve as the ICC chairman till June 2016, replacing Srinivasan.
According to the newspaper, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and L Sivaramakrishnan are also set to lose their central commentary role. It appears that the BCCI is considering reverting to its old policy of giving broadcasters the option of deciding the commentators and their contracts.
