BCCI to conduct elections & AGM on October 18 in Mumbai

BCCI will conduct its much-awaited elections and Annual General Meeting here on October 18. In a communication (TOI has a copy) to state associations on Thursday, BCCI secretary Jay Shah wrote: "Notice is hereby given that the 91st AGM of the BCCI, which will be held at Mumbai on October 18, 2022 to transact the business as per the agenda annexed herewith. The time and venue of the AGM will be informed in due course.

The minutes of the 90th AGM, held on December 4, 2021, are attached herewith. Rest of the agenda papers will follow shortly. You are requested to attend the meeting." Most significantly, the agenda (this paper has a copy) of the notice for the AGM includes: "B.

Election of the office-bearers of the BCCI-president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer." It will be interesting to see if current BCCI president, former India Sourav Ganguly contests again for the post, and is re-elected, or, if speculation is to be believed, Jay Shah, presently the secretary and extremely popular amongst the state units, is elected as the new Board president. After the Supreme Court amended its order regarding the cooling-off clause on September 14, both can continue in their posts. Current Board treasurer Arun Dhumal's name is doing the rounds for the new secretary's post, but it won't be surprising if the present status is persisted with for the sake of continuity.
