Roger Binny

The speculation about former Indian seamer Roger Binny, being in the fray for the top job in Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) started when his name appeared on the BCCI website, as part of the Draft Electoral Rolls for the October 18 elections, and as a representative of the Karnataka State Cricket Association. 

However, gauging by social media trends and news today, it looks like there was no smoke without fire and the player who was part of the 1983 World Cup winning team, is likely to be the next BCCI President replacing Sourav Ganguly, who became the BCCI president in October 2019 and whose tenure is coming to an end. Roger Binny had earlier served as a member of the BCCI selection committee and was a national selector too. 

While the BCCI elections will be held in Mumbai in October and 18th is when we will know for sure, all the nominations will be scrutinized on October 13. Sources say that while Jay Shah is likely to remain the BCCI secretary, Rajeev Shukla might be the next BCCI vice-president. Sourav Ganguly’s name is being discussed as the next International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman.
