The BCCI took the decision at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Monday Nov 09,2015. The BCCI will now recommend this change to ICC
With this, N Srinivasan's association with international cricket comes to an end.

N Srinivasan was elected for a two-year term. His tenure will be completed by current BCCI president Shashank Manohar, who will now head the world body's Executive Committee till June 2016. As per protocol, respective Boards name a representative on the Ex-Co. The BCCI will propose former ICC president Sharad Pawar's name as an alternative director in the executive committee

N Srinivasan has been a controversial figure ever since his conflict of interest as the BCCI boss and an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise owner came to light, followed by the ugly IPL spot-fixing and betting case in 2013, which found his son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, guilty.

On issues of conflict of interest, the BCCI has also removed Ravi Shastri from the IPL governing council. Shastri is Team India's director and will hold this position till the ICC World T20 in March-April 2016
