Shashank Manohar Quits As BCCI President
May 11, 2016 16:52 IST Shashank Manohar Quits as BCCI President Shashank Manohar has stepped down as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India after he took over the post following Jagmohan Dalmiya's death in September 2015. Shashank Manohar has resigned as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He took over the position following the death of Jagmohan Dalmiya in September 2015. Manohar, 59 who was a senior lawyer, was BCCI president from 2008-2011 and was replaced by N. Srinivasan In addition to resigning as president of the BCCI, Manohar also stepped down as the BCCI representative in the ICC. In a letter addressed to Anurag Thakur, the secretary of the BCCI, Manohar said, "I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect from the post of President of Board of Control for Cricket in India. I also resign with immediate effect as the representative of BCCI on the International Cricket Council, as also the Asian Cricket Council on which I was nominated by the General Body of BCCI. I thank all my colleagues and the staff for their support and cooperation during my tenure. I wish all of you all the very best in taking the cause of Cricket to greater heights." Manohar's exit means that this is the shortest-ever tenure by a BCCI president. There were speculations that Manohar could resign as the president of the BCCI in order to contest for the post of independent chairman of the International Cricket Council. According to the ICC rules, the chairman should be of independent nature and can't act in dual role keeping his position as his country's cricketing chief. -

Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju Book
It gives me immense pleasure to inform that Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju has done exemplary service to Andhra Cricket Association. I know Dr. Gangaraju and his father and both of them are people of noble heart. They are always keen to serve the society. Recently I inaugurated the picturesque twin grounds at Mulapadu in Krishna District. I also inaugurated the first- ever historical Test match at Visakhapatnam. After taking a look at the grounds and other infrastructure in different districts of A.P, I am thrilled by the dedicated efforts put in by Dr. Gangaraju and his team. I requested Dr. Gangaraju to give a proposal for developing adventure sports on the hillocks of Mulapadu and other sports infrastructure across the State. Top officials of BCCI, recognising his services made him the Vice President of BCCI. I would like to appreciate Dr. Gangaraju, his team of office bearers and members of ACA, who stood by him in all his endeavours in moulding ACA as a role model association in the country. 1 1 I take it as honour to inform that Andhra Cricket Association, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju, has made tremendous progress in terms of development of game and infrastructure across the state of AP. I have been watching Dr. Gangaraju in BCCI meetings. He comes to the meetings with one agenda - to seek facilities to ACA, demand postings for ACA members in sub committees of BCCI and more number of international matches for the association. He always sought the coveted Test status to Dr. Y.S.R. -
Zangalis [email protected]
Date: 7 August 2019 To FIDE ETHICS COMMISSION Moscow From: Kirill Zangalis [email protected]. Tel.: +79687320080 14 Bld. 1 Gogolevsky Bulvar, Moscow, 119019, Russia APPLICATION On 2 August 2019, Yevgeny Surov, a well-known chess journalist, published a post (tweet) on the Twitter social network, speaking outrageously about Sergey Karjakin and me as his long-term chess manager, calling me a pimp, and Sergey’s chess career a prostitution. This tweet has also been reposted on Yevgeny Surov’s website chess-news.ru. I believe that such insulting comparisons published by Yevgeny Surov in the media and on social networks cause irreparable damage to our business reputation and deliberately, in an indecent form, humiliate the honour and dignity of Sergey Karjakin as one of the strongest chess players in the world, thereby undermining the prestige of chess globally. I believe that such publications, which cause irreversible damage to the entire chess community, require an immediate and tough response, so I request that you: 1. Require Yevgeny Surov to remove the insulting tweet and make a public apology to me and Sergey Karjakin in the media. 2. Ban Yevgeny Surov from attending any chess events held under FIDE auspices. I also request that the Commission apply any other possible sanctions it deems necessary to Yevgeny Surov on consideration of this case. Enclosure: 1. Scanned copy of Yevgeny Surov’s publication on Twitter and on chess-news.ru – on 1 page. Best regards, Kirill Zangalis [Signature] Attachment to Kirill Zangalis’ application dated 7 August 2019 Scanned copy of Yevgeny Surov’s publication on Twitter and on chess-news.ru Telekom.de 14:33 battery level: 28% Unsafe – chess-news.ru Chess-News.ru Chess has retweeted without censorship Yevgeny Surov @surovlive That’s interesting: 1. -
