The BCCI shifted the opening ODI in the best-of-seven serises from Pink City to Vadodara. The match was to be played on 25 October. BCCI president Shashank Manohar confirmed the news after the BCCI's 80 th Annual General Meeting. In the AGM the Board also condoled the death of former BCCI president, Raj Singh Dungarpur. "It was also decided to set up the BCCI's umpires Academy at Nagpur to train umpires," said Manohar who has commenced the second year of his three-year term as the Board's chief.
Manohar also said that the BCCI's contract with event management firm IMG, whose service was terminated leading to protest letters from seven Indian Premier League franchise owners to the Board, has been re-negotiated. "We would be paying IMG Rs 27 crore per year (as compare to Rs 43 crore in 2008 and Rs 33 crore in 2009). The deal is for ten years starting 2008," the Board chief said. Manohar also sounded a warning to the franchises by saying the Board would not tolerate any more interference in its affairs.
