Reports | Saba Karim steps down from his post as BCCIâs general manager
Official announcement for Karim's exit is around the corner
|Days after Rahul Johriâs resignation, reports on Sunday have suggested that Saba Karim too has stepped down from his post as BCCIâs general manager. However, official confirmation from the board is pending with the BCCI not having yet decided who will take over Karimâs role in the future.
BCCIâs General Manager (Cricket Operations) Saba Karim became the second high-profile departure from the Indian cricketing board after TOI reported that he stepped down from his position on Sunday. Karim followed Rahul Johri, who resigned from his position earlier in the month. The 52-year-old cricketers from Patna came on board with the BCCI in December 2017, with CEO Johri overseeing his appointment.Â
However, details of his exit or appointment of new personnel are yet to be discussed by the apex Indian cricketing board. Whilst BCCI appointed Hemang Amin to replace Johri as the boardâs interim CEO earlier last week, this would be the second position that they would need to fill in the span of two weeks.Â
Karim was responsible for domestic cricket schedules and operations, which has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the country. It was decided last week in BCCIâs apex council meeting that domestic cricket in the country would have to be postponed till December until a clear picture has not been painted in regards to the pandemic. A formal announcement of his departure is around the corners.
