The Supreme Court has paved the way for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly to extend his tenure. The apex court, in its ruling on Wednesday, 14 September, said that it would allow an office bearer in BCCI to hold office for two consecutive terms even if they were in office in a state association for one term.

This will essentially pave the way for president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to continue their tenure at the the institution that handles the functioning of cricket in India.
