Former Indian allrounder Roger Binny is set to become the new BCCI president, replacing Sourav Ganguly, who is not expected to have a position in the board any longer.

Binny will assume charge on October 18, when the BCCI annual general meeting will be held, in Mumbai, reports espncrickinfo.

Binny, 67, has a lot of experience in cricket administration. He has served in different positions at the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) over the years, and has been its president since 2019.

Along with Binny, there will be two first-timers in the new administration: Ashish Shelar, who served as Mumbai Cricket Association president between 2017 and 2019, will be the treasurer, and Devajit Saikia, currently secretary at Assam Cricket Association, will be the joint secretary.

Another key appointment is that of Arun Dhumal, who is set to take over as the new IPL chairman, a post held since 2019 by Brijesh Patel, the former India batter, who will be forced to vacate the seat as he turns 70 soon.
