New Delhi. Elections are being held for this post after Sourav Ganguly remained in the post of BCCI President for several years. In such a situation, the change in the top posts of the Board of Control for Cricket in India has almost been decided. Let us tell you that former captain and current president Sourav Ganguly may step down from BCCI soon and in his place, veteran player Roger Binny, who was part of the 1983 World Cup winning team, can be elected as the new president. It is worth noting that Ganguly has been in this post for 3 years. He will step down for Binny at the annual general meeting (AGM) of the board to be held on October 18.
Changes in big posts fixed, but Jay Shah will continue as secretary
According to the information, after the continuous uproar for the last one week, it was decided that 67-year-old Binny, who hails from Bangalore, will be the 36th chairman of the board. While Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will continue as the BCCI secretary for the second consecutive term. Apart from this, Shah will also replace Ganguly on the ICC board. Rajiv Shukla, the only Congress leader among the BCCI office-bearers, will continue to be the vice-chairman of the board. Arun Singh Dhumal, younger brother of Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, will now be the chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He will replace Brijesh Patel. Maharashtra BJP leader Ashish Shelar will be the new treasurer of the board. Devjit Saikia, a close aide of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, will be the new Joint Secretary. He will replace Jayesh George.
But no official decision has been taken yet on whether BCCI will contest for the post of ICC chairman. BCCI sources told PTI, “An influential minister in the central government played an important role in the selection of office bearers of the board.”
