Dalmiya was a ‘neutral’ candidate from both the factions in the board. One camp is led by outgoing BCCI boss N. Srinivasan and the other is spearheaded by former union minister Sharad Pawar. Dalmiya returns to the top post after more than a decade.

Apart from Dalmiya, the other new entrant is Haryana’s Anirudh Choudhary who has been appointed the new treasurer while Himachal Pradesh’s Anurag Thakur was named the board secretary. (IANS)
