Indian Premier League: Rajeev Shukla Returns as Chairman of Governing Council

Rajeev Shukla has replaced Ranjib Biswal as the chairman of the Indian Premier League Governing Council. The committee was decided by the BCCI at a meeting on Monday.

Shukla had resigned from this position after the IPL match-fixing and betting scandal in 2013. Ranjib Biswal of Orissa Cricket Association was given the job for a year. Biswal ran IPL 2014 in collaboration with Sunil Gavaskar, who was appointed as interim president of the BCCI by the Supreme Court of India.

Former Test captain Sourav Ganguly and World Cup 2015 India team director Ravi Shastri are also part of a 13-member committee.

Shukla, a former senior vice-president of the BCCI, had lost in the recent Board elections. He had contested for the position of the treasurer and has lost to Anirudh Chaudhary.
