Former SC judge Vineet Saran appointed Ethics Officer of BCCI, Lokpal


Posted on 19th Jul 2022 06:13 pm by rohit kumar

Former Supreme Court judge Vineet Saran has been appointed as the ethics officer and ombudsman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Both these posts were vacant for the last year. Saran has replaced Justice (retd) DK Jain. Jain's tenure ended in June last year. Saran has been a former Chief Justice of the Odisha High Court. He has also served as a judge in the Karnataka and Allahabad High Courts.

 

"The appointment of Hon'ble Justice Saran took place last month," a BCCI official told news agency PTI. When contacted, Saran, the 65-year-old former judge, describing himself as a fan of cricket, said, "I took charge last month, but no order has been passed yet."

 

In another news related to the board, after earning a record-breaking amount from the media rights in the Indian Premier League, the BCCI will discuss the media rights of the domestic matches. The media rights for domestic matches (from 2023 onwards) will be discussed in the upcoming meeting of the BCCI Apex Committee.

 

Most of the board meetings have been held online in the last two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, but all members are expected to be present in this meeting to be held in Mumbai. The 12-point agenda for the meeting includes "information on the 2022-2023 domestic season, classification of umpires and media rights for cricket matches to be played in India".

 

The BCCI-hosted matches are currently held by Star India, which paid Rs 6138.1 crore for the 2018-23 cycle. However, with the IPL media rights being bid for Rs 48390 crore, this amount is almost certain to be much higher.

 

Ranji Trophy could not be held for the first time in the 2021 season due to the coronavirus and this year it was organized with less number of matches. With the games being held without a bio-bubble (bio-safety environment), the BCCI will now have the option of holding a full domestic season. The BCCI will also confirm the increase in the pension of former cricketers after it was announced last month.
