New Delhi(Agencies): 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. 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),” a BCCI source told PTI.
Domestic cricket is unlikely
to start before December with the COVID-19 cases continuing to rise in the
country.
If the IPL happens in
September-November, as is being speculated, 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. PTI
