BCCI president, secretary, office-bearers can have six-year stints: Supreme Court

Cooling-off period to apply after 6 years at each level, but not if one switches levelNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday effected major amendments to the constitution of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that would entitle its president, secretary and office-bearers to have two consecutive terms spanning six years in the board, even if they had served for three years in state associations immediately before entering BCCI. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli, thus, significantly altered the 2018 SC-approved BCCI constitution, which had mandated an office bearer to undergo three-year cooling off period after two consecutive terms in state association, or BCCI or cumulatively.

SC, amicus agree to amend BCCI cooling-off periodNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court, Board of Control for Cricket and the SC-appointed amicus curiae on Tuesday tentatively reached a consensus to amend the BCCI's constitution to allow two consecutive terms to its president, secretary and other office-bearers irrespective of their earlier innings in state associations. The SC-approved BCCI constitution provides that "an office-bearer who has held any post for two consecutive terms either in a state association or in the BCCI (or a combination of both) shall not be eligible to contest any further election without completing a cooling period of three years." The bench also in principle agreed to remove the 70-year age cap on BCCI's representative to the ICC that could make former BCCI president N Srinivasan hopeful of entering the international cricket body for a fresh start after a break from the cricket management role for more than seven years.
