Has BCCI hinted the end of Anurag Thakur?

The Supreme Court hearing took place on Thursday where a newly constituted Special Bench of Chief Justice T.S. Thakur and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to elect new administrators.

 
The Apex Court has given the Indian cricket board a final warning for implementing reforms recommended by the Lodha Committee. If the BCCI fails to do so by tomorrow, the Supreme Court will have to pass orders and take over BCCI's administration.

Moreover, the BCCI tweeted a few reforms under their chief, Anurag Thakur and by doing so, they have hinted that Thakur might be on his way out of the world's richest cricket body very soon. 

 

A few reforms mentioned by BCCI's Twitter account included India's successful hosting of the ICC World T20 earlier this year, extraordinary efforts put by them to promote Test cricket in India and many others.

The Supreme Court (SC) has made it clear that state associations do not hold a fundamental right to receive money from the country's cricket body. 

 

However, Anurag Thakur had different ideas about this as the BCCI has declined to give the undertaking not to disburse the grant to state bodies & abide by all directions of Lodha panel.

 

"BCCI's defiant attitude will not lead anywhere. They have to corporate with the Lodha Committee and not obstruct it," SC added.
