'No-Election' BCCI AGM will audit accounts, adopt annual budget

The 'few good men' in BCCI will be after all "elected" on 'A Wednesday' morning without any actual election or contest - a convention followed for years as a part of Board's "cosy club" culture. In fact, when did BCCI last have a "proper contested" election and not "unanimous appointments" election is a question that raises several eyebrows and gives enough stress to our memory quotient. There will be no aberration this time around and those "few good men" will assume power, again, without any contest. 

CoA will find itself dissolved

But it's a historic day in the sense that this will mark an end to an ad-hoc arrangement that lasted for nearly three years. So when Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI office-bearers' team takes charge, the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators will find itself dissolved.
