Former Indian Cricket team captain, Sourav Ganguly, who is currently BCCI president, is reported to be revoked from his post and shall be handing it to 1983 World Cup winner Roger Binny, while Jay Shah will continue as BCCI secretary.
BCCI election, which is scheduled on next Tuesday, is supposed to be merely a formality, as none of the posts has more than one nomination. It is also informed that the new BCCI power panel has already been decided and a consensus reached after several rounds of talks over the past month. Roger Binny is set to become the new BCCI chief unopposed.
“Roger Binny has filed the nomination for the president’s post, myself for the vice-president’s post, Jay Shah for secretary, Ashish Shelar for treasurer and Devajit Saikia has filed the nomination for the joint secretary’s post,” said the Vice President Rajiv Shukla, who is the only official expected to retain his post besides Shah.
Binny is expected to replace Ganguly as BCCI president on October 18 when the BCCI holds its annual general body meeting in Mumbai.
