One of India’s most decorated captains Sourav Ganguly will be taking over as the 39th president of the BCCI in Mumbai tomorrow at its Annual General Meeting, AGM. This will end the 33-month reign of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).
Ganguly is the unanimous nomination for the post of BCCI president along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay as the secretary. Mahim Verma of Uttarakhand is the new vice-president.
Former BCCI president and current MoS Finance Anurag Thakur’s younger brother Arun Dhumal is the treasurer. Kerala’s Jayesh George is the joint secretary.
Ganguly will have a curtailed tenure of around nine months as he would need to demit office by the end of July next year. This will be in consonance with the provisions of the new constitution which makes ‘Cooling-Off’ period mandatory after six years in office.
CoA Chief Vinod Rai today explained the process that will be followed during the AGM. He said the accounts will be passed for the past three years first. Then, the electoral officer will announce the election results as everyone is unopposed.
