The Narayanswami Srinivasan faction suffered a setback as the rival faction’s Anurag Thakur defeated Sanjay Patel for the post of secretary.

Thakur’s one-vote victory over Patel provided the only cheer for the anti-Srinivasan camp at the much-postponed AGM elections, which were swept by the ruling group’s loyalists.

What is BCCI?

  • The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
  • Headquartered at Mumbai, India
  • National governing body for all cricket in India
  • The board was formed in December 1928 as BCCI replaced Calcutta Cricket Club
  • BCCI is a society, registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act
  • It often uses government-owned stadiums across the country at a nominal annual rent
  • It is a “private club consortium”
  • To become a member of a state-level association, one needs to be introduced by another member and also pay an annual fee
  • The state-level clubs select their representatives (secretaries) who in turn select the BCCI officials.

Authority of BCCI

  • As a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), it has the authority to select players, umpires and officials to participate in international events and exercises total control over them.
  • Without its recognition, no competitive cricket involving BCCI-contracted Indian players can be hosted within or outside the country.
