NEW DELHI, Aug 1: The Indian cricket board will have a new CEO in the coming months, a post which was vacated by Rahul Johri last year.
The five BCCI office bearers, including president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah, vice president Rajiv Shukla, treasurer Arun Dhumal and joint secretary Jayesh George met here on Saturday to discuss a host of issues and appointment of a full time CEO was one of them.
Currently, IPL Chief Operations Officer Hemang Amin is the interim CEO.
“We will have a new CEO soon and currently we are discussing about the process of appointment. During Rahul’s time, we had a head hunting agency. Whether we will do the same thing or directly seek applications is yet to be decided,” a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The eligibility criteria for the post of BCCI CEO is more 10 years of experience of working in top management position in a company which has Rs 100 crore annual turnover.
Can Hemang Amin apply if he wishes to?
“Yes, Hemang will also have to apply for the position if he is interested. His application to the best of my knowledge wont be accepted automatically.” (PTI)
