Mumbai, Sep 11 (UNI) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday indefinitely postponed its Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was supposed to be held by September 30, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah in a letter informed the state units about the postponement.
The Indian cricket board is registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 and the rules require the AGM to be conducted before September 30 each year.

The letter further also stated that an Annual General Meeting of a registered society cannot be conducted online.
The last BCCI AGM took place in October 2019 when Sourav Ganguly took over as the president, ending the tenure of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators.
