BCCI : Rules and Laws

Since last week the drama behind the two high profile IPL teams' ouster has grabbed headlines.with modi being expelled from the BCCI and being forced to hide in London,due to a blue corner notice by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and two of his favourite teams Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab being scrapped,the story of IPL keeps going on.

Though the 2 teams ouster could effect the brand value of the IPL,BCCI is unperturbed and nonchalant. Meanwhile, the equations are changing in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).Friendships are fickle. But Lalit Modi shouldn’t lose heart, because he still remains vice-president of Punjab Cricket Board, the only Board backing him. This too shall pass and when it does, make a comeback in the fullness of time. Lalit Modi had orchestrated and couped out Jagmohan Dalmiya 5 years back, remember? Its just that Modi bloated,flew too high, tweeted too much and slighted the ruling group .And revenge begets revenge.

But the more things change the more things remain the same. Only the personnel change, BCCI remains the same being. But even BCCI runs under some rules. What must they be? Read on ..
