The former boss and BCCI general secretary Ajay Shirke were removed by their positions by Supreme Court for failure to bring transparency and accountability to the Indian cricket board.
The apex court later appointed a four-member panel, headed by Vinod Rai, to oversee the running of the cricket board.
