Days after relieving Rahul Johri from his services as CEO, the Indian cricket board appointed its IPL chief operating officer Hemang Amin as the interim CEO. The BCCI is expected to get a new CEO in the next two months. Amin, who used to report to Johri, has been handling operations division of IPL since 2017.
In 2016, the board had hired a well known consulting agency, Korn Ferry, to help appoint its first-ever CEO. However, it is understood that this time the board might not hire any agency and instead will lookout for a suitable candidate on its own.
"Until a new CEO takes over, the board has asked Amin to handle the CEO’s role for an interim period. The board will discuss the appointment of new CEO, an advertisement will be given and applications will be invited for the post in the coming days. A new CEO will only take charge after nearly two months," media reports claimed.
