The new chairman for the cash-rich Indian Premier League will be chosen by the BCCI at its 82nd Annual General Meeting scheduled here on September 19. The need arises because the existing Chairman Amin wants to step down due to personal reasons.

Sources, however, said that the appointment of a CEO, as speculated in the media, to run the Board`s affairs is not a listed item on the agenda of the meeting which would pass the annual accounts and annual report of the secretary. The indications are that Rajiv Shukla, currently vice president from the Central Zone, would become the new chief of this important sub-committee of the BCCI.

President-elect N Srinivasan, who would complete his term as the Secretary of the Board, is poised to take over as the new chief from incumbent Shashank Manohar who would step down after the completion of his term at the helm. The appointment of the new selection committees including the senior panel is also one of the important items on the agenda of the meeting along with the election of various office bearers.
