New Delhi, Feb 6 (IBNS) : The Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) on Monday sacked some staff members of the Board For Control of Cricket in India, including its media manager Nishant Jeet Arora, reports said.

Those sacked were attached to the offices of former BCCI President Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shirke.

COA took over the running of the cricket board on January 30 following a Supreme Court order.

According to reports, appointments and tenure of other BCCI officials will be overseen by BCCI CEO Rahul Johri.

The decision to sack the staff attached to the former  President and Secretary's offices was taken in the COA meeting held in New Delhi on February 1.

The decision was taken days after reports appeared that hat Nishant Jeet Arora was communicating dressing room information to Thakur and trying to create rift among players.
