The Tamil Nadu strongman will thus lose his grip on Indian cricket for good after having already been ousted as the BCCI President owing to the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal in which his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was held guilty of betting charges.

BCCI president Shashank Manohar will put on his practising lawyer’s cap and try to push through all these reforms at its AGM that will affect quite a few past cricketers wearing multiple hats even as they are part of its affiliated units.

The decision to drop him was taken at the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s Annual General Meeting in Mumbai on Monday. He, however, continues to head Tamil Nadu Cricket Association.

Srinivasan’s reign in the ICC started with the control of the cricket management with the Big Three (India, Australia and England), a move that was opposed by most full member countries and took time to get everyone on one accord.

The BCCI will propose former ICC president Sharad Pawar’s name as an alternative director in the executive committee.

In a change at the top of the technical committee, Ganguly replaced Anil Kumble as chairman. “But in BCCI, things can always change”, a source close to the board is quoted as saying by Cricketcountry.

The Supreme Court appointed Justice Lodha committee also suspended CSK and Rajasthan Royals from the IPL for two years.

Shashank Manohar will occupy the ICC post till June 2016 the end of N Srinivasan’s original term
