The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Vice President Rajeev Shukla will become the acting President of the cricket body after Roger Binny’s tenure ends, according to sources. Shukla will become acting President for three months from July. With the Annual General Meeting (AGM) taking place in September, the sources said that he can compete in the elections for the post of full-time president. Roger Binny was elected BCCI President in 2022 as he succeeded Sourav Ganguly. At that time, Binny, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, was the only person to file a nomination.
During Binny’s presidency, India won two white-ball titles, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He also introduced the Women’s Premier League (WPL), a women’s franchise cricket league on the lines of highly-successful IPL. It was during his presidency that several steps related to proper strengthening and prioritising domestic cricket with help of better incentives, pay and having seniors participate in domestic tournaments took place.
