Ashish Shelar / After Shah, now this veteran will also be separated from BCCI! Change is going to happen

Ashish Shelar: The series of big changes continues in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Recently, Jay Shah left the post of BCCI Secretary after taking over the chair of the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), which was filled by appointing Devjit Saikia as Acting Secretary. But now the chances of another important change in BCCI have increased.

Ashish Shelar became Cabinet Minister of Maharashtra Government

BCCI Treasurer and BJP leader Ashish Shelar recently took oath as a Cabinet Minister in the Maharashtra Government. This event is indicating a possible change inside the BCCI, as now Shelar's post of Treasurer may be vacant. However, the situation behind this is complicated, because according to the recommendations of the Lodha Committee in 2016 by the Supreme Court of India, ministers or public servants cannot be officials of the BCCI.

Constitutional amendment changed the game

In 2022, the Supreme Court allowed an amendment to the constitution of the BCCI, paving the way for MLAs and ministers to become officials in the board. On the basis of this amendment, Ashish Shelar took over as BCCI Treasurer in October 2022. Now, after becoming a cabinet minister, it will be interesting to see whether Shelar continues to hold the post of treasurer or the post falls vacant.

Played an important role in Mumbai Cricket Association

Ashish Shelar has extensive experience in cricket administration. He took over as the vice-president of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) in 2015 and became the president in 2017. As BCCI treasurer, he demonstrated his strong grip on financial matters and played an important role in the board's operations.

Changes continue in the board

There has already been a major change in the BCCI after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman and resigned from the post of secretary. Now, new developments are also coming up regarding the post of treasurer. If Shelar has to leave the post of treasurer after becoming a cabinet minister, the BCCI will have to elect a new treasurer soon.

Will Shelar's experience get importance?

However, Ashish Shelar has deep experience in the functioning of the board. His supporters believe that he can continue in his current position despite becoming a cabinet minister. If this happens, the BCCI will benefit from his expertise in financial matters.

The situation will be clear in the coming time

This change in the BCCI is not only important from the organizational point of view, but it will also affect the administrative structure of Indian cricket. With Jay Shah becoming the ICC chairman and the treasurer's post potentially falling vacant, the possibility of new faces coming to the board has increased.

In the coming time, it will be interesting to see whether Shelar holds both his posts or there is another big change in the BCCI. Indian cricket fans and administrative circles are keeping a close eye on this development.
