As expected there were major changes made to the IPL Governing Council at the BCCI Annual General Meeting and there is no place for Lalit Modi or Sunil Gavaskar.
sunil gavaskar
The IPL GC sees no place for Gavaskar, IS Bindra and Farooq Abdulla. While reports claim that the latter two have been sidelined because of their emphatising with Lalit Modi, who has been completely overlooked in the new shape of things to come. There were rumours that the reason Ravi Shastri and MAK Pataudi were retained while Gavaskar was given the boot because the latter was demanding a greater pay packet.
The new IPL Governing Council looks like this: Chirayu Amin ( IPL Chairman ), Anurag Thakur, Rajiv Shukla, Arun Jaitley, Ranjib Biswal, Ravi Shastri, MAK Pataudi.
BCCI Vice Presidents with a tenure of one year: Niranjan Shah (West Zone), Rajiv Shukla (Central Zone in place of Lalit Modi), Arindam Ganguly (East Zone), Arun Jaitley (North Zone) and Shivlal Yadav (South Zone). Sanjay Jagdale and MP Pandove would continue as the joint-secretary and treasurer.
