Sachin Tendulkar comes clean about whether he is in the running to become the next BCCI President

Overview

  • Sachin Tendulkar’s management issued an official statement saying he is neither being considered nor nominated for the BCCI presidency.
  • Punjab Cricket Association has nominated Harbhajan Singh and the Cricket Association of Bengal has nominated Sourav Ganguly to attend the AGM after the September 12 deadline for state representatives.
  • The electoral schedule sets candidate nominations for September 20–21, scrutiny on September 22, withdrawals by September 23, and the AGM and elections on September 28.
  • Roger Binny exited on turning 70 under the BCCI age cap, with vice‑president Rajeev Shukla serving as acting president until the election.
  • Eligibility requires an active state‑association role and formal nomination, and recent terms have seen former players in top posts as several incumbents are expected to continue in other offices.
