BCCI AGM in Mumbai on September 18 to discuss associate membership for Andaman & Nicobar Islands
The proposal had come up for discussion at an earlier Apex Council meeting of the BCCI and will now be placed before the AGM for consideration. If approved, the move would bring the Union Territory into the BCCI fold. Associate membership, however, does not carry voting rights. It will, though, provide a pathway for Andaman & Nicobar to feature in India’s domestic cricket calendar.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has scheduled its Annual General Meeting (AGM) to take place in Mumbai on September 18. During this meeting, one of the significant topics to be discussed is the potential grant of associate membership to the Cricket Association of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, a Union Territory. This proposal was previously deliberated at a meeting of the BCCI's Apex Council and will now be brought before the AGM for consideration.
It is important to note that if this proposal is approved, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands would be integrated into the BCCI system. However, it's crucial to understand that this level of membership does not bestow voting rights upon the territory. Nevertheless, it would open the door for Andaman & Nicobar to participate in India's domestic cricket calendar.
The AGM will also see the election of two General Body representatives to the Governing Council of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Additionally, the BCCI plans to induct one representative from the Indian Cricketers’ Association into the IPL's governing body.
Lastly, the meeting is expected to ratify the appointment of a new five-member junior selection committee. This decision comes after the BCCI recently published an advertisement seeking nominations for this committee.
