Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah Can Have BCCI Term 2 After Supreme Court Order

The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday accepted the proposed changes in the Board of Control for Cricket in India's constitution, which will allow current president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to get an extension to their term. The board had put in a plea for modification of its constitution on mandatory cooling off period and tenure of its office bearers. The apex court in its order stated that office bearers can have continuous tenure of 12 years which includes six years in State Association and six years in BCCI. Both Ganguly and Shah's three-year term in the BCCI was set to expire shortly.
