Shashank Manohar will be next BCCI President ...

[Sai Jai]

Former BCCI president Shashank
Manohar, according to sources, is all
set to succeed late Board chief
Jagmohan Dalmiya who passed away
in Kolkata on Sunday.( Manohar Not
in Favour of Srinivasan-Pawar
Alliance )
Manohar was Board supremo from
2008 to 2011.( BCCI Goofs up on
Srinivasan)
Manohar, a senior lawyer, who is
known for his no-nonsense style of
operation and clean image has
emerged as a consensus candidate
among East Zone units whose turn it
is to nominate a president till 2017.
Manohar is known to be close to
former BCCI and ICC chief Sharad
Pawar.
Earlier this week Jharkhand's
Amitabh Choudhary had emerged as
a candidate as East Zone wanted one
of it's own members to replace
Dalmiya. But in the game of numbers
Choudhary seems to have lost out as
the Sharad Pawar and Anurag
Thakur factions wanted their man to
become chief.

Rajeev Shukla, the IPL
chairman and a former BCCI vice-
president also emerged as a
candidate but no one had the
necessary support from East Zone.
To become president of BCCI, a
candidate needs at least 4 of the 6
votes from East Zone and Manohar,
therefore, is the best possible
consensus candidate under the
circumstances.
On Friday Manohar reportedly said he
would never side with Srinivasan.
"Manohar has always maintained
that he has played his innings as BCCI
top boss. He does not wish to come
back again but is ready to help the
BCCI restore its faith among
stakeholders. He has made it clear
that he is not at all in favour of a
Pawar-Srinivasan alliance," the
source said.
Manohar's appointment is expected
to be formalised in the Board's
Special General Meeting, the date of
which has not yet been fixed. As per
BCCI's constitution a president must
be chosen within two weeks of the
death of a Board chief.
