Sourav Ganguly formally takes over as BCCI president

India TV News  

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday took over as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India after being elected unopposed at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai. Ganguly became the 39th BCCI president and he has been officially entrusted with the task of heading Indian cricket for the next nine months at the BCCI's General Body meeting, ending a 33-month reign of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators. The CoA took over the BCCI on January 30, 2017 and was initially a four-member panel, including Vinod Rai, historian Ramchandra Guha, former India women's cricket team captain Dianna Edulji, and banker Vikram Limaye. However, Ganguly's time at the helm is set to be as short as 9 months as he will enter a mandatory cooling-off period from July 2020 under the new rules as he has been the president of the CAB for the past five years and an administrator can only serve six years at a trot.
