The new BCCI committee: All you need to know about BCCI's fab four

#4 Diana Edulji

The only sportsperson on the panel

Former Indian captain, Diana Edulji is the only sportsperson to be present in the all-powerful panel.

A distinguished cricketer, Edulji made her debut in 1976 and played 20 Tests, in which she claimed 63 wickets at an impressive average of 25.77. She played 34 ODIs and picked up 46 wickets. She was the recipient of the Arjuna Award in 1983 and the coveted Padma Shree in 2002.

“I was asked by amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium whether I would like to be a part and I had said ‘yes’. I was expecting a role but I was surprised after being named in administrators panel. It is a huge responsibility given to me by the Apex Court and I will like to do justice,” Edulji was as quoted by PTI after her appointment.

The former captain is no stranger to administrative duties as she has the experience of managing 40 Railways teams in the past.
