The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has appointed Bharat Patel, a senior member of India's corporate world, as an advisor to Chirayu Amin, the Indian Premier League’s interim chairman.
Patel is a former chairman of the MNC Procter & Gamble and was involved in the setting up of the IPL in 2008 in an advisory capacity to Lalit Modi, the then chairman.
Cricinfo reports that an IPL governing council member claims that it was Amin who suggested Patel's name. The source also notes that any appointment would need the approval of the governing council, which is scheduled to meet in June.
Like Amin, Patel – who was P&G; chairman until March 2009 – enjoys a good standing in the Indian corporate world. He is currently chairman of the Indian Society of Advertisers and serves on the brand protection committee of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, a top lobby group that Amin headed a few years ago.
