Former Indian cricket team star and member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team Roger Binny on 18 October was named as the 36th president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Binny’s appointment was announced at the BCCI AGM in Mumbai as he replaces former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
The former Indian cricket team star, now 67-years-old, was the only candidate to have filed nomination for the BCCI president’s post.
Apart from Binny, the the next set of office-bearers’ polls was a mere formality as all are set to be elected unopposed.
