Mumbai, September 02: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Shashank Manohar was Wednesday authorised to resolve the IMG issue and report back to the Cricket Board at its annual general meeting on September 24
The BCCI last week snapped ties with IMG, claiming the sports management firm was overcharging the Board for providing its services to conduct Indian Premier League
IMG received close to Rs 43 crore for the inaugural edition of the IPL, held in 2008 and is set to receive Rs 33 crore for this year’s IPL-II staged in South Africa
“BCCI Chief Shashank Manohar has been authorised to deal with the IMG issue and report to the Board at its AGM on September 24,” BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla told reporters after a meeting of the IPL governing council here
Former BCCI President Sharad Pawar wrote a letter to Manohar ahead of the meeting to make it clear that the contract with IMG was approved at all “appropriate levels” during his tenure as the Board president.
