Roger Binny replaces Sourav Ganguly as BCCI president
Roger Binny, the former India all-rounder and a member of the Indian team that won the 19■3 World Cup, replaced Sourav Ganguly as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He was elected as president on October 1■ in Mumbai.
Binny indicated that a focus area for his administration will be the prevention of injuries to players. “As the BCCI president, I want to primarily focus on two things. First is the prevention of injuries to the players. Jasprit Bumrah got injured just before the T20 World Cup, which affects the whole plan. Second, I want to focus on the pitches in the country... The wickets in India should be lively so when we go overseas, it helps our players,” Binny said.
The rest of the BCCI office bearers are: Rajiv Shukla (vice-president), Jay Shah (secretary), Devajit Lon Saikia (joint secretary), Ashish Shelar (treasurer), Arun Singh Dhumal (chairman, IPL governing council), Avishek Dalmiya (member, IPL governing council), and Khairul Jamal Majumdar (apex council member).
