Former India pacer Roger Binny is no longer the BCCI President. Rajeev Shukla, who has been serving as the Vice-President of the board, has taken charge as acting chief until the next elections.<\/p>\n

According to a Dainik Jagran report, the Apex Council meeting of the BCCI was held on Wednesday under Shukla\u2019s leadership, where sponsorship was the key agenda. The meeting discussed the termination of Dream11\u2019s contract and the search for a new sponsor for the next two-and-a-half years. With the Asia Cup beginning on September 10, however, finding a replacement in time remains a major challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t even have two weeks left. We are trying, but floating a new tender, completing legal processes, and handling technicalities will take time. As for a short-term sponsor only for the Asia Cup, we are not going that way. Our focus is on securing a sponsor for the next two-and-a-half years, until the 2027 ODI World Cup in October-November,” the report quoted a source as saying.<\/p>\n

Despite the passage of the National Sports Governance Law, the BCCI will still have to conduct its Annual General Meeting and elections next month, as the law has not yet been notified. The report stated that it could take another four to five months for the law to be formally enacted, meaning the elections cannot be postponed.<\/p>\n

At present, the board functions under the constitution drafted after the Supreme Court\u2019s verdict on the Lodha Committee recommendations. Until the new law comes into effect, both BCCI and its state associations must continue to operate under the existing framework. The Sports Ministry recently clarified that elections at both levels would be held under the current constitution until further notice.<\/p>\n

The report further stated that if the elections for the BCCI or any state association are due, they will be conducted under the present rules. The Lodha Committee recommendations will remain in force, with office-bearers appointed or removed accordingly. Under these rules, the maximum age limit for office-bearers is 70 years, which means anyone elected before reaching that age can serve a full term.<\/p>\n

Some office-bearers will also be forced to step down after completing either nine years in total or six consecutive years in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf BCCI President Roger Binny had to step down, then state associations will also have to accept the same,” the report quoted a source as saying.<\/p>\n
