Players
line up before the match and do notice the copyright mark up there on the photo
!!! The 2nd ODI at Centurion
was a delight to Indian fans ~ the toss and the Umpire’s decision on lunch made
headlines ~ and there is one more
trivia, the official website of BCCI.
Do you
still rememner Lalit Kumar Modi ~ those watching IPL would ! - the businessman was the first Chairman and Commissioner of the
Indian Premier League (IPL), and ran the tournament for three years until 2010.
He also served as the Chairman of the Champions League during 2008–10. He was
the Vice President of the BCCI – all a thing of past, as he now lives in exile.
Would you ever have imagined that he will continue to have his clout on the
Board ??
Its past Presidents
Include : RE Grant Govan, Digvijaysinhji, Anthony D Mello, Maharajkumar of
Vizianagaram, MA Chidambaram, Fatehsingrao Gaekwad, M Chinnaswamy, SK Wankhede,
NKP Salve, S Sriramam, Madhavarao Scindia, AC Muthiah, Jagmohan Dalmia, N
Srinivasan, Vinod Rai and in interim – Shivlal Yadav and Sunil Gavaskar. – it is the BCCI ~ the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the national governing body for cricket in
India. The board was formed in December 1928 as a society, registered under the
Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. It is a consortium of state cricket
associations and the state associations select their representatives who in
turn elect the BCCI officials.
Lalit Modi, the
icon of IPL, was banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
since 2010 and forced to live in exile in London over allegations of financial
misappropriation, but the spectre of former IPL czar Lalit Modi continues to
hang over the board.
On Saturday — a day
when India won the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand — the Board was faced with
the embarrassment of finding its website, bcci.tv, dysfunctional. TOI reports that the glitch happened because BCCI's internet
domain is still owned by Modi, who had not paid for the renewal in time. The
domain was valid from February 2006 to February 2018. The updation date was
February 3, 2018.
Since the website
is under Modi's control following a court order, he is believed to have made
the payment for renewal after the BCCI approached Modi's staff in India. The
site is now up. TOI spoke to Modi's lawyer and he said he was not aware of the
issue.
