BENGALURU: The BCCI Annual General Body meeting here on Sunday was a low-key meeting with no major decisions taken.
On expected lines, Arun Dhumal and Avishek Dalmiya were re-elected to the IPL Governing Council, while V Chamundeswarnath was nominated by the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) as a player representative and inducted into the IPL GC.
According to a BCCI press release, apart from financial matters like accounts and budget being approved, the General Body also ratified the recommendations of the IPL Governing Council from their meeting on Saturday, which included topics like player retention, right to match and salary cap.
Although the BCCI did not spell out anything on the restructuring of Duleep Trophy, it has been learnt that state units expressed their reservations about this season's format, which was competed among four teams -India A, B, C, and D, picked by the national selectors. Next season, the red-ball tournament is likely to return to its traditional format of a zonal competition.
The recently-concluded Duleep Trophy was highlighted by the presence of many star Indian players, but the state units were wary of the 'unfair representation' of players.
