The BCCI constitution stipulates that any post lying vacant should be filled within 45 days by calling a SGM, and Sunday라이브 바카라 meeting is well within that period, holding on the 43rd day.

Bhatia filed the nomination for the treasurer라이브 바카라 post after incumbent Ashish Shelar took oath as a cabinet minister in the Maharashtra government recently.

Jay Shah to be felicitated

While the election of the two important office-bearers is the main point on the agenda, ICC chairman Shah will attend the SGM as a “special invitee.”
