BCCI Elections: Old Administrators Out But Their Kin Are Incoming

The Quint  

Family Connections The whole point of restricting those above the age of 70 and those who had completed a certain period of time with the board from holding a post in the BCCI was to weed out the old guard within Indian cricket. Elsewhere, long-time Himachal cricket supremo Anurag Thakur, also current Minister of State for Finance, will see his brother taking over from him. Similarly, Niranjan Shah, the Saurashtra strongman who wielded power in his region for 43 years, will see his son Jaydev, also a former Ranji captain taking over as president. The whole scheme proposed by Justice Lodha in his recommendations have been watered down over four years thanks mainly to the stubborn attitude of the old guard who were not willing to cede any ground.
