BCCI Presidency Race Opens Nominations as Top Brass Seek Consensus in Delhi

BCCI administrators reportedly met in New Delhi to weigh a consensus pick under a tight electoral timetable.

Overview

  • Nominations opened September 20 with scrutiny and the final list due September 23 and voting set for the September 28 AGM in Mumbai.
  • The final electoral roll names Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, Raghuram Bhat and Jaydev Shah as the leading state representatives in contention.
  • An informal meeting was held in New Delhi on Saturday to finalise candidates for key posts, according to PTI-backed reporting.
  • Former wicketkeeper Kiran More could still be nominated through a special provision despite not appearing on the final roll, multiple reports say.
  • The AGM is also slated to constitute a new panel of national selectors and fill other senior board roles, with recent practice making formal voting largely procedural.
