Veteran cricket administrator Jagmohan Dalmiya is all set to return as BCCI President more than a decade after he last held the top job. He is emerging as the consensus candidate from N Srinivasan's camp. The road for Dalmiya was cleared after another former President Sharad Pawar failed to get a proposer from East zone, prompting the Maratha strongman to pull out of the race ahead of tomorrow's much-anticipated and much-delayed Annual General Meeting. Board Secretary Sanjay Patel is also likely to retain his post, provided he is not entangled in a contest with Pawar loyalist Anurag Thakur. The 70-year-old Dalmiya, President of Cricket Association of Bengal, controls two votes from East Zone and had yesterday emerged as a front-runner for the top post since no other name was unanimously acceptable to all the units loyal to Srinivasan.
