Chennai, Feb 8:
The much-awaited Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the BCCI, which had to be deferred a number of times because of the IPL spot-fixing case, will now be held here on March 2, bringing an end to the uncertainty over its functioning.
The decision was taken at the Board’s emergent Working Committee meeting where sidelined N Srinivasan also attended in his capacity as Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) president.
The committee discussed the implications of the Supreme Court judgement and decided to act as per legal advice.
It was also decided to increase the monthly gratis scheme for all former cricketers by 50 per cent subject to a maximum of 50,000 rupees per month effective from January this year. “The Working Committee of the BCCI at its emergent meeting, held in Chennai today has decided to hold the Annual General Meeting of the BCCI on the 2nd of March 2015 at 9.30 AM in Chennai,” according to a BCCI statement issued after the meeting.
The meeting has been held in the wake of the Apex Court order on January 22, clearly stating that BCCI will have to hold its AGM-cum-elections within six weeks. (PTI)
