BCCI meeting begins today

CHENNAI: The BCCI's two-day Special General Body meeting will be held here from Tuesday, and if board secretary Niranjan Shah is anything to go by, Jagmohan Dalmiya is not on the agenda.

A terse "no comment" was all Shah volunteered on Monday evening when asked about the former board president.

A Kolkata city court had earlier ruled that the disciplinary committee meeting — scheduled to be held on Tuesday in connection with alleged misappropriation of the 1996 World Cup funds by Dalmiya — be adjourned till the matter is heard again on August 22.

Consequently the matter concerning recognition of Bihar or Jharkhand cricket associations, to be discussed in the Special General Body meeting on Wednesday evening, takes centre stage. The Finance Committee will meet on Tuesday morning followed by the marketing committee, while the Working Committee will convene on Wednesday morning.

Other issues on the agenda include opening of the bids for the official clothing rights, sponsorship rights for the tri-series to be played in Singapore and Malaysia, India's playing schedule, and resolution of the Working Committee on the Nimbus issue. The marketing sub-committee met here on Monday. — Special Correspondent
