Mithun Manhas: Front-Runner for BCCI Leadership
Mithun Manhas, a former domestic cricket player with 9,714 runs, is seen as a consensus candidate to lead BCCI, continuing the tradition of ex-players heading the board.
- After a Saturday meeting, Mithun Manhas emerged as frontrunner to succeed Roger Binny as BCCI president; nominations opened on September 21 and the AGM is set for September 28 in New Delhi.
- Roger Binny stepped down because he completed his three-year tenure and reached the mandatory retirement age, and after 2019 constitutional changes, BCCI leaders sought a consensus candidate.
- Manhas combines a long playing record with administrative roles, having played 157 first-class matches scoring 9,714 runs with 27 centuries and 49 half-centuries at 45.82 average, and serving with Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association and Gujarat Titans.
- Sources say Mithun Manhas will be elected unopposed as BCCI president, marking a significant moment for Jammu and Kashmir cricket as the first uncapped player to lead the board.
- With ICC elections due later this year, the AGM on September 28 will decide Apex Council and IPL posts, with Devajit Saikia and Rajeev Shukla expected to continue in key roles.
