Roger Binny set to replace Sourav Ganguly as BCCI chief: Reports

| @indiablooms | Oct 12, 2022, at 02:51 am

In a change of guard in the Indian cricket board, former allrounder Roger Binny is likely to replace ex-skipper Sourav Ganguly as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, media reports said.

Ganguly, who has been allowed by the Supreme Court recently to continue to run the top post, has reportedly turned down the offer to become the Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman after he was denied a second term.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah, the second most important person on the board, is likely to remain in his post.

Binny, who was a part of the 1983 World Cup winning team, is likely to get elected to the top post unopposed.

He filed his nomination papers Tuesday, reports said.

Meanwhile, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal is set to become the new IPL chairman replacing Brijesh Patel.
