Speculations are rife that BCCI's first chief executive officer Rahul Johri, who had tendered his resignation a while ago, might have to wait a little more before he is relieved of the job by the Board.

Sources said on Sunday that Johri, appointed in 2016 to the then newly-formed position, had made up his mind to step down after the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) exited the scene in October last year, paving the way for the Sourav Ganguly-led team to take charge.

"Johri's resignation will be accepted but it might take some time. He is trying to negotiate," a source told PTI. “He quit some time ago. We have no idea what his plans are in the near future. We don’t even know who all he had marked his email to or if he’s given it in writing to the office-bearers. But it’s certain that he has submitted his resignation,” according to a source.

Since assuming charge, Johri has been working on multiple fronts, playing a key role in selling the IPL broadcast rights to Star India for a whopping Rs. 16,348 crore.

Johri’s appointment came when Shashank Manohar was BCCI president and Anurag Thakur was its secretary.

However, no one, Johri included, is willing to confirm anything about these developments.

Prior to joining BCCI, Johri served as Discovery Networks Asia Pacific’s executive vice-president and general manager for South Asia.
