According to PTI reports, after long speculation, a BCCI official told PTI that the board has finally accepted CEO Rahul Johri’s resignation on Thursday. Johri, who joined BCCI in 2016 had put his papers earlier after CoA had made way for the Sourav Ganguly led side to run the board.

One of long-standing speculation and reports in the country, BCCI have reportedly finally accepted the CEO Rahul Johri’s resignation on Thursday. While in the past, Johri’s resignation was not accepted by the cricketing board, they have finally decided to call it time after his extension till April 30 came to an end. However, with COVID-19 taking precedence following that, the board has not yet officially announced Johri’s resignation. 

“Rahul Johri’s resignation has been accepted. He was earlier given an extension till April 30 but this time it has been accepted,” a BCCI veteran told PTI on the condition of anonymity, reported Hindustan Times. 

Johri joined the cricketing board in 2016 and after serving for four years, had put in his papers after Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) had made its way for Sourav Ganguly and co to run the board, on their own. However, Johri was reportedly asked to continue till 2021, where his contract expires.

But with his work being marginalized on the account of Jay Shah taking over a major chunk of the responsibilities, including matters related to the ICC, the report added that the board has decided to accept the resignation.
