Choudhary was an expert in handling difficult situations both as an IPS and cricket administrator, his appointment was seen as controversial recruitment on several bodies body on track. Choudhary also tried contesting Lok Sabha and assembly elections in Jharkhand in the past but didn’t succeed.
In JSCA polls, Choudhary, who was then acting BCCI secretary, couldn’t contest due to the cooling off period clause enforced by the Supreme Court in the wake of Lodha committee recommendations to improve the affairs of BCCI. Thereafter, new office bearers led by former India captain Sourav Ganguly filled BCCI administrators posts too, leaving Choudhary unoccupied.
