Goodbye, Chennai: BCCI moves treasurer's office to Mumbai

The BCCI, under new chief Shashank Manohar, has shifted the office of treasurer from Chennai to Mumbai, reports The Hindu. The report says the tax consultant has also been changed. Chennai-based P.B. Vijayaraghavan & Co. has been the tax consultant for the last 10 years and the internal audit company for the last six years. It has been replaced by M/S Gokhale & Sathe for the 2015-16 fiscal.

Shashank Manohar has said his first priority is to clean up the image of the board and restore the faith of India’s cricket fans in it. He also promised that the board would function in a transparent manner under his leadership but made it clear all actions of the board did not need to be public and that the RTI Act did not, and should not, apply to it. Addressing the press at the BCCI cricket centre at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai following the Special General Meeting at which he was the only candidate nominated by the East Zone to succeed the recently deceased Jagmohan Dalmiya, Manohar asked for two months to implement his reforms and promised that he would answer questions only after that period.
