Court removes top Indian officials over reform failure
Print Edition
INDIA’S Supreme Court yesterday ordered the removal of two of the country’s most powerful cricket administrators for refusing to introduce reforms, and said it would appoint its own committee to carry out the recommended changes.
In a ruling, the Supreme Court fired the Board of Control for Cricket in India president Anurag Thakur and BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke and vowed to sack any other officials who refused to adhere with the court’s orders. The court said it would appoint a new committee later this month to run the BCCI’s business operations and that all office bearers would have to provide an undertaking that they would carry through the reforms recommended by former chief justice RM Lodha or “demit the post and cease to be office bearers”. Lodha was appointed in early 2015 to head up a committee to reform the running of Indian cricket in the wake of the Twenty20 Indian Premier League corruption scandal.
