Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah are the talk of the country in Indian cricket at the moment. Speculation is going on in the cricket arena about whether they will continue on the board again. The fate of Sourav-Joy Shah may be known after the Supreme Court hears the petition. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the board’s appeal soon.
Sourav’s continuation for the cooling off period has become somewhat uncertain. The board has applied to the court seeking an end to this cooling off law. Sourav Ganguly, Jai Shah will be able to hold the posts of the board if this law ends by amending the constitution. Otherwise, they have to re-elect for that post.
After Sourav Ganguly came on board, Indian cricket got a lot of momentum. Former cricketers like Rahul Dravid, Laxman joined Indian cricket. Increased the salary of the cricketers. Launched the pink-ball day-night Test at Eden Gardens. The current Indian cricket board president has played a significant role in changing the country’s cricket structure. Many people want Ganguly to continue in the board again.
However, six years have passed in the state organization under the chairmanship of Sourav and Jai Shah as secretary. If the court does not end this law, they will not be able to hold chairs. The Sourav-Shah pair’s legal obstacle is there.
The mandatory three-year cooling-off law came after the Supreme Court accepted the recommendations of a committee headed by Justice RM Lodha. Accordingly, Sourav and Joy are supposed to go on cooling off after completing two consecutive terms of three years. But the board wants to amend this law.
Sourav went to Dubai to watch the Asia Cup. However, the Maharaja of Calcutta did not open up on this matter. In the end let’s see what happens to Sourav’s fate. But if he returns to the board again, it will surely create a new chapter in Indian cricket.
