Big changes are coming to the BCCI. Roger Binny, the current president, will retire on July 19 when he turns 70. This is because all BCCI officials must step down after reaching 70 years old. So, who’s next in line for the top job?
Sources say Rajeev Shukla, the current vice-president, might take over. He could become the acting president. “After Roger Binny’s term ends on July 19, Rajeev Shukla might be named acting president,” a source revealed. “The new BCCI president will be elected in September.”
Rajeev Shukla has been around the Indian team for a long time. He’s a former journalist and Rajya Sabha MP who has held many roles within the BCCI. Players like him, and he’s often at big matches. He’s a strong candidate for the job and is ahead of the pack. Shukla has been vice-president since Sourav Ganguly was president.

The BCCI will elect a new president in September. Until then, Rajeev Shukla might be the man in charge. One thing’s for sure – big changes are coming to the BCCI.
