Mithun Manhas, a former Delhi captain who played for three Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises over the course of his career, has officially been named the new BCCI president.
Rajiv Shukla, who was named the interim BCCI president after Roger Binny’s exit from the top job, is set to continue as vice-president. Manhas, a veteran of 157 first-class games, has been named the 37th BCCI president. This surprise development has not only raised eyebrows but also left the cricket fraternity in the country in disbelief, as no one saw it coming.
The BCCI also announced the appointment of two new selectors, with Ajit Agarkar continuing as the men’s selection committee chairman. The duo of RP Singh and Pragyan Ojha joined Shiv Sunder Das, Ajit Agarkar, and Ajay Ratra in the selection panel.
