BCCI: Sourav Ganguly’s tenure as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which he first assumed in 2019, appears to be coming to an end. The front-runner to fill Ganguly’s position is reportedly Roger Binny, a member of India’s 1983 World Cup-winning team. Ravi Shastri, a former India head coach, is happy to see Binny occupying the top position on the board even if an official announcement has not yet been made.
“I’m happy that Roger’s name has been mentioned. He was a World Cup teammate of mine. Because he previously served as the head of the Karnataka State Cricket Association and is now leading the BCCI, there is continuity in this situation. For the first time in BCCI history, a World Cup winner is serving as president, and I couldn’t be happier “According to Sportstar, Shastri stated during a discussion on Wednesday at the Mumbai Press Club.
Although Ganguly may assume another position on the board, Binny has already submitted his bid for BCCI president. According to rumours, Ganguly intended to stay on as the board’s chairman but didn’t have the support he needed from the other members. Shastri reacted to this situation by stating that “nothing in life is permanent.”
“I don’t believe anyone served a second term as president based on what I’ve read in the media. In light of the current situation, another cricketer now has a chance. Nothing in life is permanent, therefore once you’ve done something for a while, you have to move on “Says Shastri.
“I may not continue to act in the same manner in three years as I do today. New people will be hired and new ones will take over. It’s beneficial in a way.”
Shastri believes that Binny, who previously served as the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association, possesses the qualifications needed to assume the position of BCCI president.
“You cannot dispute his credentials when you consider his moral character, integrity, and, as I just indicated, his World Cup-winning accomplishments. He meets all requirements to serve as BCCI President “Says Shastri.
Shastri quickly brought up the need to upgrade the stadium’s infrastructure and amenities when discussing the BCCI’s areas for improvement under the new president.
“The ground’s amenities need to be greatly improved; it is the most crucial thing. It should be emphasised, “He declared.
