BCCI Accepts CEO's Resignation, Asked Him To Leave With Immediate Effect: Report!

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally accepted its chief executive officer (CEO) Rahul Johri’s resignation. After which, he was also asked to leave office with immediate effect. 

Johri has been BCCI’s first CEO, who has been appointed in 2016. 

As per Indian Express report, Johri tendered his resignation to BCCI secretary Jay Shah a few months back, while his tenure was supposed to end in April but, the board decided to give him an interim extension.

“His resignation was accepted today (Thursday). He had officially handed in his resignation some time ago but due to Covid-19, the board didn’t take a decision as BCCI wondered how he would find a job in these times. However, the board now has released him with immediate effect,” a top BCCI official told The Indian Express.

Meanwhile, BCCI is working without a chief financial officer (CFO) after the previous incumbent Santosh Rangnekar tendered his resignation, which took place just after the new BCCI dispensation took over from the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).
