\"cricketBhubaneswar: Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) President Ranjib Biswal and secretary Asirbad Behera stepped down from their posts on Wednesday following the recommendations of the Lodha Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the Supreme Court dismissed Anurag Thakur as the Board of Control for Cricket in India<\/a> (BCCI) president and Ajay Shirke as its secretary.<\/p>\n

All other office bearers of the OCA also quit their posts, said sources.<\/p>\n

“Respecting the Supreme Court ruling and Lodha Committee recommendations, I stepped down from the post,” said Biswal.<\/p>\n

“After getting the Supreme Court’s order by mail through BCCI CEO Rahul Johri on January 2, I held a meeting with all the 18 office bearers of the OCA on Wednesday. We unanimously decided to hand over all the charges,” said Behera.<\/p>\n

Cuttack MLA Debashish Samantaray, who is the chairman of the organising committee, will oversee the match preparations.<\/p>\n

“I have been chairman of the organising committee for past several years. There is nothing new in it. I will try my best to smoothly conduct the ODI match,” said Samantaray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
