Museum committee scrapped

November 29, 2015 03:13 am | Updated 03:13 am IST - Nagpur:

As promised the BCCI president Shashank Manohar has trimmed the size of the committees. He has junked the museum committee as well as the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) and Zonal Academies committees.

Generally the office-bearers and committee members of the affiliated units are made members of the museum committee and kept happy. Some years ago the BCCI had announced plans to establish a museum but it’s remained a pipedream.

An 18-member museum committee was formed after the AGM in Chennai on March 3, with Mumbai Cricket Association’s Ravi Savant as Chairman, but the present BCCI administration, has decided to do away with the committee. Even the Working Committee has been trimmed and now has only 19 members. India had hosted two Test matches (CAB, Kolkata and MCA, Mumbai) against the West Indies in the last two years and hence no association has been admitted into the Working Committee on the basis of staging a Test match from October 1, 2013.

The CAB and MCA, being permanent Test centres, are automatic members of the Working Committee.

The marketing committee has been cut to size. It now has only eight members with BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur as the convenor.
