Overview

• Former Delhi captain Mithun Manhas submitted his nomination on Sunday and is widely reported as the unopposed frontrunner to succeed Roger Binny, a move that would make him the first uncapped cricketer to lead the BCCI if elected.
• BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said a panel has proposed Manhas for president, with Arun Dhumal continuing as IPL governing council chairman, Devajit Saikia as secretary, Raghuram Bhat likely as treasurer, and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia as joint secretary.
• The election process now moves to scrutiny and the final list on September 23, with appointments to be formalised at the AGM on September 28.
• The consensus slate followed informal meetings in New Delhi involving senior administrators, with multiple reports pointing to a huddle of key decision-makers to settle top posts.
• Selector changes are lined up for the AGM: Pragyan Ojha is set to replace S Sharath on the senior panel and RP Singh to succeed Subroto Banerjee, while the current committee will pick the squad for the West Indies Tests starting October 2.
