When India’s cricketing body Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was run by the names like N Srinivasan and Lalit Modi, the entire country had a clear picture that the body was run by these men. The final nod was given by these men!
With Jagmohan Dalmiya at the chair, not just every Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise but the state cricket associations and corporate houses which sponsor the game at various levels are questioning about the secrecy within the doors of the BCCI. BCCI officials to request Jagmohan Dalmiya to resign from president post
According to a report from Times of India, a leading official from a franchise revealed that the Supreme Court had observed that the 75-year old Dalmiya was not in a perfect condition, both mentally and physically.
“There’s just too much at stake right now and the point is nobody knows who’s calling the shots. A few days ago the Supreme Court panel had observed that he’s not in perfect physical and mental condition,” a franchise official was quoted saying.

“The last eight years, there was always clarity on who is making the decisions. In fact, when Srinivasan and Modi were in control, there was no doubting that nobody else in BCCI or outside called the shots. It was always them. Now, we don’t know whose is the leading voice. Whatever we come to know is only through the media. Every bit of information streaming out seems to be only source-based,” another franchise official added.
There have been no meetings conducted after the 2015 IPL. Earlier, the board conducted workshops where the IPL governing body interacted with the franchises and plan for the next tournament. IPL Verdict: CSK’s suspension excessively harsh on Tamilian pride, says Subramanian Swamy
“Earlier, there were men who were solely responsible for all decisions made but at no point has the BCCI thought of franchises as equal stakeholders in IPL,” the official quoted again.
