The former Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi was the main casualty when the country's cricket board announced five new vice-presidents on Wednesday leaving him without any involvement in Indian cricket.
Modi, who polarised opinion with his management style, was dropped by the Board of Control for Cricket in India which suspended him from the IPL in April saying he had "brought a bad name to the administration of cricket".
The BCCI also gave Chirayu Amin, who was put in interim charge of the IPL after Modi's suspension, a one-year term at the helm of the governing council of the Twenty20 league. In a statement, the cricket board also named the union minister Farooq Abdullah as the new chairman of the BCCI marketing committee, which Modi had headed.
"Modi is not part of the BCCI any more. He cannot say he's suspended IPL chairman," the BCCI president, Shashank Manohar, was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency after the cricket board's annual general meeting in Mumbai.
Under Modi, the IPL helped revolutionise cricket with its short, television-friendly format combined with lucrative advertising and cheerleaders, though it upset many traditionalists.
Meanwhile, the BCCI said the former India captain Anil Kumble will succeed Ravi Shastri, an IPL governing council member, as the new chairman of the National Cricket Academy. The BCCI secretary, Narayanaswami Srinivasan, will take over from Shashank Manohar as the next board president. The board also unveiled Hyderabad as a Test venue, deciding that it will host the second Test against New Zealand in November.
