Roger Binny succeeds Sourav Ganguly as BCCI president
After widespread controversy over the change of guard in the Indian cricket board, 1983 World Cup winning team member Roger Binny Tuesday succeeded former skipper Sourav Ganguly as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president.
Binny took over the charge days after Ganguly was denied a second term by the officials.
Ganguly was reportedly offered the chairman's post in the cash-rich T20 tournament Indian Premier League but the ex-captain, who shaped Team India, turned it down "politely".
Meanwhile, Ganguly has announced his decision to run for the presidential elections in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) back home in West Bengal.
Politics is being widely played out with West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) accusing the country' governing party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of dumping Ganguly as he did not join the saffron camp.
