BCCI to elect new president on May 22 in Mumbai
NEW DELHI: The BCCI has called for a Special General Meeting on May 22 in Mumbai
to elect its new president following the resignation of Shashank Manohar .
Goa Cricket Association general secretary Vinod Phadke said that an SGM will be
held in Mumbai on May 22 and the only agenda of the meeting would be election of
a new president.
“Yes, we have the SGM on May 22 in Mumbai. The only agenda is the election of
the president,” Phadke told PTI.
Manohar’s exit from the top post on May 11 barely seven months into his tenure
has necessitated the election of the new chief of the world’s richest and most
powerful cricket body. He was elected as ICC’s first independent chairman on May
12. As per BCCI rules, a SGM has to be convened within 15 days, apprising the
members of the current situation. It is the prerogative of secretary Anurag
Thakur to call such a meeting. According to reliable sources, Thakur is being
tipped to take over the hot seat. IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla is also in the
running along with Maharashtra CA president and business magnet Ajay Shirke.
