Despite being told off by the Supreme Court for holding more than one post in the Indian cricket setup, Mr N. Srinivasan is set to make a smooth transition from board secretary to president-elect at the BCCI’s 81st AGM in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Mr Srinivasan, the de facto owner of Chennai Super Kings, will take over the BCCI’s reins from next year when Mr Shahshank Manohar’s tenure ends. Mr Srinivasan represents South Zone while Mr Manohar was the Central Zone’s nominee.
Wednesday’s meeting will also effectively snap suspended IPL chief Lalit Modi’s last link with cricket, with BCCI finance committee chief Rajiv Shukla replacing him as the board vice-president from Central Zone. West Zone’s incumbent vice-president Chirayu Amin will also be replaced by media committee chief Niranjan Shah. “There will be no place for Modi in any BCCI or IPL committee. The charges against Modi are still being investigated by the BCCI, whose findings will determine his future in the board,” a board source said. The other office bearers — Arun Jaitley (North), N. Shivlal Yadav (South) and Arindam Ganguly (East) — will retain their seats as they have a year left of their three-year vice-presidential tenure.
