Summary Dalmiya was elected unopposed Monday
NEW DELHI (AP) - Former International Cricket Council chief Jagmohan Dalmiya has returned as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Dalmiya emerged the only candidate Monday after India s Supreme Court restricted ICC Chairman Narainswamy Srinivasan from seeking another term as BCCI president while he continues to hold a stake in Indian Premier League team the Chennai Super Kings.
Dalmiya, who was the ICC president from 1997-2000 and BCCI president from 2001-2004, was elected unopposed Monday during an annual general meeting in Chennai.
The Supreme Court barred Srinivasan from seeking re-election in January following a conflict of interest case filed by the provincial Cricket Association of Bihar in regard to a spot-fixing probe against Srinivasan s son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings team principal Gurunath Meiyappan.
