Dalmiya emerged the only candidate Monday after India's Supreme Court restricted ICC Chairman Narainswamy Srinivasan from seeking

another term as BCCI president while he continues to hold a stake in Indian Premier League team the Chennai Super Kings.

Dalmiya, who was the ICC president from 1997-2000 and BCCI president from 2001-2004, was elected unopposed Monday during an

annual general meeting in Chennai. The Supreme Court barred Srinivasan from seeking re-election in January following a conflict of interest case filed by the provincial Cricket Association of Bihar in regard to a spot-fixing probe against Srinivasan's son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings team

principal Gurunath Meiyappan.
