Rajeev Shukla, new BCCI president?

Sources within the BCCI have told Cricker About this development. The transition is in accordance with the AGE-CAP regulation of the BCCI, which obliges all office carriers to renounce their positions when turning 70.

Discussions are already underway among high administrative officials, and Shukla, who has been a central figure in Indian cricket administration for decades, is seen as the natural successor. “(Rajeev) Shukla could replace in July (Roger) Binny. The board officials are discussing all his name,” A Senior BCCI officer confirmed Cricker.

According to the Constitution of the BCCI, each office carrier-included must leave the president’s position after reaching the age of 70.

In such cases, the most senior vice-president takes over as an interim president until the board has new elections. Shukla, who took on as a vice president on December 24, 2020, meets those criteria and has remained an influential voice in the matters. ‘Shukla, who currently acts as a BCCI vice-president, is an experienced cricket manager and seasoned politician with previous experience as chairman of IPL“The source added.

The official announcement is expected closer to Binny’s birthday (July 19), but if everything goes according to plan, Shukla will be at the helm of BCCI cases in July, at least in an interim capacity.
