Mumbai, Apr 14:
BCCI vice president Mahim Verma today submitted his resignation to CEO Rahul Johri after being elected as the secretary for his state cricket association in Uttarakhand.
Verma had fought the state body elections last month and came to power. He had to resign because the BCCI constitution doesn’t allow one person to hold two posts simultaneously at the national and state level, Cricbuzz reported.
“I needed to take take care of my state association which wasn’t being run smoothly. I have sent my resignation to CEO Rahul Johri. I am sure it will be accepted as senior office-bearers are in the loop.”
The outgoing vice-president felt the state association of Uttarakhand was in utter mess and he had take up a position there to get it back on track.
“I have already told about my compulsions to the secretary (Jay Shah). If I hadn’t gone back and taken charge of the state body, the association would have been in a mess. That’s why I contested the election.”
As per BCCI rule, a Special General Meeting needs to be called in 45 days to fill up the vacant post but it will be very difficult for the board to maintain the stipulated time frame as the country is in lockdown.
Moreover, there is no clarity about the list of probable candidates for the post of BCCI vice-president. UNI
