BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has put in his papers, but it’s not official yet

MUMBAI: Rahul Johri, the first-ever chief executive officer (CEO) of the Indian cricket board (BCCI) who joined office in April 2016, has resigned. However, nobody in the cricket board, including Johri himself, is willing to confirm the development.

Sources say Rahul Johri had made up his mind on move on soon after the exit of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of administrators (CoA).

Sources told TOI on Saturday that the Delhi-based Johri had put in his papers “some time ago but it’s not been officially acknowledged yet”.

“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,” sources said.

Johri did not wish to respond to a query from TOI. Asked specifically if he had officially submitted his resignation, the BCCI CEO said he has “nothing to say” on the matter.

TOI tried reaching BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah and treasurer Arun Dhumal but they too remained unavailable for comment.

Soon after the new set of officebearers were elected in November last year, the Board’s chief financial officer (CFO) Santosh Rangnekar had put in his papers. Rangnekar, however, continues to be in office until the completion of his notice period.

Johri was appointed CEO of the board in 2016 when Nagpur-based lawyer Shashank Manohar was the president and Himachal’s Anurag Thakur the secretary. The then officebearers had hired the services of recruitment firm Korn Ferry to shortlist and interview the candidates from which Johri ended up being the chosen one.

Johri had last served as Discovery Networks Asia Pacific’s executive vice-president and general manager for South Asia before switching over to BCCI. The appointment of a CEO, back then, was in line with some of the key recommendations made by the Lodha Committee that were ratified by the Supreme Court.
