Sourav Ganguly arrives at BCCI headquarters for AGM

Mumbai: Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly, who is set to become the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) President, on Wednesday arrived at the BCCI’s headquarters for the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Today is the last day of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) in office as the BCCI elections will be conducted later in the day.
BCCI’s acting president CK Khanna and CoA member Diana Edulji also arrived at the headquarters.
Edulji told reporters: “I am very happy that a cricketer is going to be the president and I hope he takes it forward to great heights.” The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed that the tenure of the CoA for the BCCI administration will end after the election of new office bearers.
A bench of the Apex Court, headed by Justice SA Bobde, directed that no proceedings would be initiated against the CoA without prior permission from it. Once the BCCI elections get over, the CoA will be handing over the charge to the new body.
