New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) CEO Rahul Johri has had his way as the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) has decided that CFO Santosh Rangnekar will be paid more than Indian Premier League COO Hemang Amin when the annual appraisals come into effect for board employees. Once again, it wasn't a unanimous decision and the CoA was split 2-1.
Speaking to media, sources in the know of developments at the CoA meeting on Monday said that it was again a case of only Diana Edulji trying to make the co-members understand how the IPL COO has time and again put on a great show and deserved acknowledgement.
"CoA chief Vinod Rai and Lt. Gen Ravi Thodge supported the move to hand the CFO a handsome hike just like they had in the last meeting and while Diana once again tried to reason with them, she failed.
"Diana explained to the committee that while there is no problem with the CFO being handed a hike, the COO also deserved to be equally rewarded as he has done a terrific job when it comes to the organizing of the IPL.
