Overview

  • Roger Binny has vacated the presidency after turning 70, the upper age limit set by the BCCI’s Lodha-based rules.
  • Rajeev Shukla, the board’s vice president, is serving as acting president and chaired the Apex Council meeting on August 28.
  • BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed Dream11 will not continue as the Indian team’s title sponsor and said the board is pursuing alternatives.
  • Officials are seeking a multi-year sponsorship running through the 2027 ODI World Cup rather than a short-term Asia Cup arrangement.
  • Despite Parliament passing a new governance bill, officials say upcoming BCCI elections must be held under the existing constitution since the law has not been notified.
