Breaking the glass ceiling, Rupa Gurunath became the first woman president of a BCCI State Association here on Thursday.
The 45-year-old Rupa, whole-time director, India Cements, was elected unopposed as the president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) and will be in office for a term of three years.
The 87th AGM of the TNCA was a swift, smooth affair and concluded in just an hour. All the candidates of the group supporting N. Srinivasan, the former ICC, BCCI and TNCA chief, were elected unopposed.
Srinivasan was present on the occasion as his daughter Rupa kept her date with history. The baton was passed.
Rupa said later, “I am happy to become the first woman president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. The TNCA has been a professionally run State association which has a long history and has been headed by eminent personalities.”
