Sachin Tendulkar Rules Out BCCI Presidency Talk Ahead of Sept. 28 Elections

The denial refocuses scrutiny on a Sept. 28 vote conducted under age caps with state nominations required.

Overview

  • SRT Sports Management issued an official statement saying no consideration or nomination for Tendulkar to be BCCI president has taken place.
  • The BCCI will hold elections at its Annual General Meeting on September 28 for president and other office-bearer posts, with the presidency vacant after Roger Binny turned 70.
  • Vice-president Rajeev Shukla is serving as acting president and is reported as a leading contender for the permanent role.
  • To contest, candidates must be active members of a state association and receive a formal nomination; Tendulkar has not held an administrative post.
  • Reports indicate most other office-bearers are likely to continue, with roles such as IPL chairman under discussion and state bodies submitting AGM representatives by September 12.
