Rajasthan Cricket Association has removed former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi as its president in a bid to end its stand-off with BCCI.
The resolution to impeach Modi was passed after 23 of the 33 districts voted against the former BCCI vice-president. Amin Pathan will take over as acting president.
Three of his supporters have also been removed.
Back in May this year, within hours of Modi being declared as the president of the RCA in Jaipur, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had decided to indefinitely suspend RCA and appoint an ad-hoc body to run its cricket affairs.
In a letter to RCA, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel had said the association was being banned as per Clause 32.7 of the Board's constitution. The decision was taken by BCCI's then interim president Shivlal Yadav.
According to the BCCI's constitution, any affiliated unit defying the Board's image can be suspended. Modi has been banned by BCCI although the former IPL boss has challenged the decision in court.
