Santosh Rangnekar resigns as BCCI's CFO

Only a fortnight after Sourav Ganguly's new BCCI administration took charge, BCCI’s second-most senior official on the management team has communicated his decision to step down to the board CEO Rahul Johri. Rangnekar was hired in 2016 as the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha committee reforms mandated the recruitment of a CFO.

According to Cricbuzz, whether Rangnekar will be quitting the position with immediate effect or serve his notice period is unclear. Clarification on whether Rangnekar will walk away with a severance package if the resignation comes into immediate effect is also to be seen. Either way, the BCCI will now have to put up an ad to land a new CFO for the national body.

Earlier this year — July, to be specific — Rangnekar was handed a fancy assessment by the CoA which - among other things like his allegations against then treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry, the trips to the United States, his bringing up of the Champions League T20 payment history and more - had become a talking point.
