Image Source: File Pic[/caption]Internet Desk: Shashank Manohar's decision to quit as the president of Board of Control for Cricket in India has triggered a fresh round of power battle inside the cricket Board. Who will replace Manohar in the hotseat?
With the Supreme Court virtually certain to order age and tenure caps for BCCI office-bearers, chances of a younger president taking charge is gaining ground. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur, who is 41 and a BJP MP, is being seen as Manohar's successor.
Manohar's resignation has come at a wrong time for BCCI. After the death of Jagmohan Dalmiya, the Nagpur-based lawyer had taken over for a second stint as BCCI chief in October 2015 last year.
As BCCI president, Manohar brought significant transparency into the functioning of a BCCI traditionally perceived as an efficient but opaque body. Insiders say he was unhappy with the way the Supreme Court was on the verge of clipping the administrative powers of Board officials.
What was the reason for his resignation? Shashank said that he was not happy as BCCi President anymore.. He did not want to spoil his image when the others are influencing the board.
He also added that he wants to run the organization on his own terms and conditions.
