The meeting will be held virtually via video conferencing (VC) or other audio-visual means (OAVM). Among the key items on the agenda is the reappointment of N. Srinivasan and Rupa Gurunath as directors.
While Srinivasan has maintained a low public profile in recent years, insiders say he remains deeply involved in CSK’s operations, particularly as the franchise grows its footprint in overseas leagues. CSK has already established subsidiary teams in South Africa and the US. Sources add that Srinivasan is a strong proponent of setting up high-performance centres and academies in multiple locations as part of a long-term vision.
