According to recent reports, Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) Treasurer Arun Dhumal is expected to become the IPL Chairman. Vice President Rajeev Shukla had his aspirations clear of becoming the next Chairman once former Chairman, Brijesh Patel was set to vacate as he turns 70 in November this year. However, surprisingly Dhumal’s name tipped Shukla for the position while the latter continues to be the vice president.
Arun Dhumal was nominated by the Himachal Cricket Association to represent his state in the upcoming BCCI AGM meeting while another notable nomination was Anirudh Chaudhary who had served as BCCI Treasurer. The vacant position of treasurer after Dhumal’s nomination for Treasurer post is likely to be filled by Ashish Shelar who also shared the urge to become the President on Monday.
