RIP: Veteran BCCI administrator Amitabh Choudhary passes away

Veteran BCCI administrator Amitabh Choudhary no more

A really sad and heartbreaking update coming in from the Indian cricket fraternity.

As per the latest media reports in The Indian Express, veteran cricket administrator Amitabh Choudhary unfortunately passed away in the wee hours of Tuesday. The update was confirmed by the Jharkhand State Cricket Association officials. He was 58 when he breathed his last. For the unversed, during his lifetime, he helmed the JSCA for more than a decade and also rose to become the BCCI’s joint-secretary. During the Committee of Administrators’ regime in the cricket board, he also served as its acting secretary. He was nothing less than instrumental in making Ranchi the headquarters of Jharkhand cricket, thereby shifting the base from Jamshedpur. A world-class stadium was built there under his watch and befittingly one end of the stadium was named after him.

Our sincere condolences to the entire family of the lost soul and may the departed soul rest in peace. For updates, stay tuned to IWMBuzz.com
