The Indian all-rounder is expected to take Saurav Ganguly as the Bcci president, he is expected to take charge from October 18.
Roger Binny was a member of the 1983 world cup winning squad and nominated himself for the BCCI president post, which was vacant after the exit of former Bcci president Mr. Sourav Ganguly and is likely to win because of his unopposed competition position.
Binny, 67, has extensive knowledge of managing cricket teams. Over the years, he held various posts at the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and as of 2019, he serves as its president.
When the Board hosts its AGM on October 18 in Mumbai, Binny, who is now the only contender to have submitted a nomination for the position, would succeed Sourav Ganguly as BCCI president if no other candidate steps forward.
In the last week, the AGM committee looking for its best picks for various positions-
Jay Shah, son of Union Minister Mr. Amit Shah is likely to be re-elected for the secretary position. This will be his second consecutive term if no one else submits their nomination.
While on the other hand, Rajiv Shukla will continue as the board’s Vice President.
Arun Dhumal will become the Indian Premier League’s chairman after leaving his position as BCCI treasurer. He is the brother of Anurag Thakur, a former board president and the nation of India’s current minister of sports and youth affairs, and is all set to take over the position of IPL chairman.
He will replace Brijesh Patel who held this position since 2019 and is forced to leave this position because of the age cap of 70 years, which is the maximum permitted age for any official in BCCI.
Along with Roger Binny, there are a couple of new faces who are joining the BCCI administration. Ashish Shelar, who has served as the president of the Mumbai cricket association (2017-2019) and will join as treasurer, and Devajit Saikia, who will be serving as the joint secretary. The joint secretary will be the Assam Cricket Association’s current Secretary.
Dhumal would initially have to run for a seat on the IPL governing council as a formality. Avishek Dalmiya, the son of former BCCI and ICC big-wig Jagmohan Dalmiya, will also be a member of the governing council. Khairul Majumdar, the BCCI’s general body representative on the board’s Apex Council, will be replaced by Avishek, the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal.
Jay Shah can now, however, continue until 2025. In 2019, he assumed the position of BCCI secretary.
