BCCI president Anurag Thakur removed from post by Indian Supreme Court 2017
The Indian Supreme Court on Monday requested the expulsion of Anurag Thakur as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Ajay Shirke as the BCCI secretary for neglecting to change the nation's cricket body as proposed by a court-designated advisory group.

The court-named board, headed by a resigned judge, recommended in December 2015 that each of the nation's states get only one vote in the BCCI and in state cricket bodies, that the age furthest reaches of cricket chairmen be topped at 70, and that administration clergymen and officials be kept out of the cricket powers.
Thakur and Shirke have until Jan 19 to answer to the Indian peak court's charges.
With India's developing economy, and billions of dollars streaming in from sponsorships, India's top cricket board has seen its control over global cricket develop forcefully.
