SC adjourns BCCI hearing, Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah stay on
India TV NewsThe Supreme Court of India on Thursday adjourned the case pertaining to the Indian cricket board and will hear it after two weeks leaving the India cricket board 's top office-bearers Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah with more time to stay in charge of affairs. The new BCCI constitution makes it mandatory for its office-bearers -- president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary, and treasurer -- to go into a three-year cooling-off period after being in the chair for six consecutive years, either in the BCCI or its affiliate state associations, or a combination of both. After being elected BCCI president on October 23 in 2019, Ganguly had only 278 days to remain as the BCCI chief as his previous tenure at the Cricket Association of Bengal was added to his BCCI term. Secretary Shah, according to reports published in mainstream newspapers in 2013, took over as joint secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association on September 8, 2013, though he was a GCA executive before that.
