Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Saba Karim has been asked to resign from the post of BCCI General Manager - Cricket Operations.
It was confirmed by a Board of Control for Cricket India ((BCCI) official today seeking anonymity.
The 52-year-old Karim, who played one Test and 34 ODIs for India, was appointed by the BCCI in December 2017. The Board has not issued a formal statement on the matter but it is learnt that it was not satisfied with Karim’s planning for domestic cricket.
“Yes, he has been asked to resign,” a BCCI source told the state-owned news agency.
“One of the reasons for that is that he was not able to prepare any tangible action plan for domestic cricket (in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic),” he added.
With the IPL scheduled to happen from September 26 in UAE as confirmed by BCCI yesterday, domestic cricket cannot be played at the same time.
The development comes after BCCI CEO Rahul Johri’s resignation was accepted earlier this month.
The Board’s Chief Financial Officer Santosh Rangnekar had also resigned last year after the new office-bearers, headed by president Sourav Ganguly, took charge.
