BCCI wants Virat Kohli to part ways with his job

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) intends to strip Virat Kohli from one of his duties. According to the Indian cricket board, Virat Kohli should not continue as a manager In ONGC, a post that Kohli currently holds.

Apart from Kohli the BCCI also want a hundred other cricketers to quit their respective roles outside cricket which include the likes of Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. After the orders came from the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), the board has urged all players to part ways with public sector companies which will allow them to bag a contract with the board. The main reason behind this step is the Conflict of interest issue.

What a BCCI official had to say:

The Conflict of interest issue will be dealt with at the SGM in Delhi on Wednesday. “Yes it will be tabled and we will talk about it in detail. Not just players but there are whole lot of other things as well when we deal with conflict of interest,” a BCCI official told Wah cricket.

” The players obviously will be most affected and it will be on the members to decide. We also have the option of referring it back to the Supreme Court as per their recent directions,” the official added.

The India A, junior team and women’s team are yet to get their support staff and managers because the board is waiting for the selected candidates to quit their job with public sector companies before signing a contract with the board.

The maximum recruitments in cricket fall under government or public sector companies which include Railways, Air India, ONGC, HPCL, Indian Oil, FCI, BSNL, Audit and Excise, Income Tax office.

The move will keep away a lot of cricketers in the international and domestic scene from being assigned any job with the BCCI and their state unit.

Though everything depends upon at the SGM and the reforms they accept, the players, including Virat Kohli will wish for their jobs to remain intact.
