Kolkata, Sep 18 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong> The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) might be forced to shelve its five-member board of trustee to comply with the new constitution approved by the Supreme Court, sources said on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The fate of the Gautam Dasgupta-headed board was one of the main points of discussion at the association's special general meeting held here during the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

CAB President Sourav Ganguly told reporters after the meeting that they will now have to draft the points including those which need more clarity, for implementation by September 20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Supreme Court had passed an order on August 9 and accordingly the BCCI registered its new constitution under the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The state associations were subsequently asked to amend their constitutions and submit a compliance report by the deadline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"A lot of issues came up for discussion like the 70-year age cap, appointing a CEO from a company with Rs 100 crore turnover and so on," Ganguly said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The CEO's salary thus will be abnormal. It's not possible for an association to pay Rs 1.5-2 crore salary to a CEO. It will be drafted on Wednesday and sent to BCCI the day after," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Former CAB joint secretary Biswarup Dey said there are several points which need more direction, primary among them being the existing trustee board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We have to abide by the constitution. Nowhere in BCCI or Mumbai Cricket Association does exist a trustee board. I have raised about 23 points. There's no scope for discussion, as we have to abide by it now," Dey said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Several state associations including Karnataka and Goa have sought clarification from the BCCI on amendment of their constitutions and CAB will do the same.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cricket1.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Association of Bengal", "alt_title": "Sourav Ganguly", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Cricket Association of Bengal may have to scrap board of trustees", "seo_desc": "..", "seo_keywords": "Sourav Ganguly, Cricket Association of Bengal ", "tag": "", "tagging": "Sourav Ganguly,Cricket Association of Bengal ,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "cricket-association-of-bengal-may-have-to-scrap-board-of-trustees", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2268", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2018-09-18 22:45:54", "updated": "2018-09-19 07:21:37", "img_from": "\u00a9 IANS", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2018-09-18 22:45:54", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2018-09-18 22:45:54", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/cricket-association-of-bengal-may-have-to-scrap-board-of-trustees-41362" }
