<p>Secretary of the unrecognised Cricket Association of Bihar, Aditya Verma has claimed that as per a Supreme Court order neither interim BCCI chief Shivlal Yadav nor vice-president Rajiv Shukla is eligible to contest for the post of Board president</p>

Citing conflict of interest, Cricket Association of Bihar Secretary Aditya Verma today claimed that as per last month's Supreme Court order neither interim Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Shivlal Yadav nor vice-president Rajiv Shukla is eligible to contest for the post of Board president at its elections.
"As per the Supreme Court order dated January 22, no official having commercial interest in the BCCI can stand in the elections because of conflict of interest. Since both Yadav and Shukla have commercial interest in BCCI, it would amount to contempt of court for them to contest the elections," Verma told reporters today.
