Biswal out,Shukla new Chairman,Ganguly new member if IPL GC

[Malcolm Merlyn]

NEW DELHI: Rajeev Shukla has been appointed as the chairman of Indian Premier League (IPL) governing council by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday. Shukla, who replaced Ranjib Biswal as the chairman of IPL, had resigned from the post after the 2013 spot-fixing scandal broke out. Shukla was the IPL chairman before Biswal took over in 2013. Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly was also included in the governing council. "Shukla is the next IPL chairman," a BCCI office-bearer told TOI on Sunday. TOI reported on Saturday on how the BCCI was debating over three choices on who would be the next IPL chairman. If former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly had the backing of BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, former BCCI chief N Srinivasan was behind Biswal while the Sharad Pawar faction was solidly behind Ajay Shirke. But with no solution in sight, BCCI picked Shukla as a consensus candidate. Earlier, Shukla was in line for a top BCCI post, but he had lost the BCCI elections for the treasurer's post to Anirudh Chaudhary. Technically, BCCI should have appointed the IPL chairman and the members of the governing council (GC) on the day its AGM was held last month. But they couldn't reach a decision then.
