BCCI's AGM to be held in Bengaluru on September 29
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that its Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on September 29 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bengaluru. This event coincides with the High Performance Centre's inauguration in the city, marking a significant day for Indian cricket administration and development. Here are more details on the agendas to be discussed.
No election for BCCI secretary
Interestingly, the AGM agenda does not include an election for a new BCCI secretary. This development comes after Jay Shah, the current secretary, was elected as the International Cricket Council (ICC) independent chairman. To address the same, a Special General Meeting (SGM) will be convened before Shah assumes his role at ICC on December 1. The date for this SGM is expected to be determined during the AGM.
BCCI to appoint new ICC representative
The appointment of a new representative to the ICC is also on the meeting's agenda. This decision is particularly significant this year, with Shah no longer eligible to represent Indian cricket board after his election as ICC chairman. Notably, the board is tasked with selecting a candidate who is well-versed and familiar with proceedings in ICC meetings.
Roger Binny's role in BCCI AGM
The choice of Bengaluru as the AGM venue, home town of BCCI president Roger Binny, suggests that he may play a significant role in the meeting. Despite his age nearing the upper limit for administration roles, speculation about Binny's potential appointment as BCCI's representative to ICC cannot be dismissed. This adds an element of intrigue to the upcoming meeting and its decisions.
