A big change can be seen in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) soon. According to reports, BCCI President Roger Binny may resign from his post. During this, the vice-president of the board Rajiv Shukla has been made the acting president. According to reports, a meeting of BCCI officials was held on 27 August under the chairmanship of Rajiv Shukla. During this, new sponsorship was discussed after the withdrawal of Dream 11. Roger Binny was made the chairman of the board in place of Saurabh Ganguly in the year 2022. Now Roger Binny is 70 years old. In such a situation, he can soon resign from the post of president.

What is the rule?

According to the constitution of BCCI, any official has to leave his post after the age of 70 years. In such a situation, former Team India player Roger Binny will become ineligible to hold the post. According to reports, Rajiv Shukla will take over for a few months. He will work as the acting president until a new president is elected. Rajiv Shukla has been working as the Vice President of BCCI since 2020.

Roger Binny has been a member of the team that won the ODI World Cup in 1983. He was made the President of BCCI in the year 2022, replacing former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly. Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI from 2019 to 2022. Binny is the third former cricketer to take charge of BCCI.

What will be the next step now?

Despite the implementation of the National Sports Governance Act, the BCCI will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and elections next month. This is because this law has not yet been formally implemented. According to reports, it may take four to five more months for this law to come into force. Therefore, the upcoming elections cannot be postponed.

The BCCI operates under a constitution framed after the recommendations of the Supreme Court's Lodha Committee. Until the new law comes into force, both the BCCI and its state associations will have to follow this framework. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) has clarified that elections at both the national and state levels will be held under the existing constitution until further notice.
