Cricket field is not a personal turf : Supreme Court

“We need to emphasise that the turf of the cricket field is not a personal turf or fiefdom. We must hence order and direct that no person shall hereafter continue to be or be entitled for appointment as office bearer of BCCI or a state association in breach of the above norms.

“All existing office bearers of BCCI and of the state associations who do not fulfill the above norms shall with effect from the date of this order stand disqualified,” the bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, said.
