Indian Supreme Court has relaxed the cooling-off period rule in the BCCI constitution, which will allow the current set of office bearers led by board president and former captain Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to be in office until 2025.
The bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli passed orders to this effect on Wednesday.
The formal judgement has not yet been made public -modifying its 2018 judgement, reports espncricinfo.
Sourav Ganguly and Shah had already served one term each at the state and BCCI levels and would have been disqualified under the existing rule. They can now serve an additional term at the BCCI.
