SC appoints Vinod Rai, Ramchandra Guha and Diana Edulji as BCCI administrators

Supreme Court on Monday nominated former CAG Vinod Rai, Ramchandra Guha, Vikram Limaye and former captain of the women’s cricket team Diana Edulji as administrator who will look after the day-to-day functioning of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and ensure the smooth implementation of the Lodha panel’s proposals.

The Apex Court also appointed Amitabh Chaudhary and Limaye as BCCI’s representatives for the upcoming ICC meetings.

The administrators were expected to be named last Tuesday, but Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi requested the court to not nominate administrators for the BCCI for another two weeks, given that the central government was thinking about bringing in a sports code.

Thereafter, the Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra asked the BCCI to submit suggestions on administrators in a sealed envelope by January 27.

The bench also allowed the Indian cricket board to suggest three names after following the due process to represent it at the ICC meeting due in the first week of February.

Names of nine administrators were submitted by Anil Divan and Gopal Subramaniam, the amicus curiae, in a sealed envelope to the Supreme Court.

However, the bench, which also includes Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice DY Chandrachud had asked for a review of the names and stated that nine people as administrators will be too many.

It was also made clear that names suggested by amicus curiae above 70 years of age will not be considered for the administrators’ post.

Speaking to CNN-News18, Diana Edulji said “It is a great honour that the Supreme Court thought that I am fit enought to be in the committee. It is an honour for me and also a huge responsibility on my shoulder, being the only woman cricketer (in the panel).”

“It is going to be a very big challenge in terms of administration work to be done as the most important thing will be to give a facelift to BCCI’s reputation which has taken a massive hit. It will be a pleasure working with Vinod Rai and Ramchandra Guha. Both are accomplished in their own fields and we will soon meet to decide on the road ahead.” she added.
