Speculations of Sachin Tendulkar Being Next BCCI President ‘Unfounded’
Sachin Tendulkar and his management have denied reports of his candidacy for BCCI presidency, clarifying he has not been approached nor expressed interest in the role.
- Elections for key positions, including the president, are scheduled during the Annual General Meeting of India’s cricket governing body on September 28, 2025, with Rajeev Shukla currently serving as the interim head.
- Former president Roger Binny stepped down in July after reaching the 70-year age limit mandated by the Justice Lodha Committee, which BCCI continues to follow despite an unnotified National Sports Bill allowing exceptions.
- Multiple media reports speculated that Sachin Tendulkar could become the next BCCI president, but his management firm denied any development or nomination and urged against giving credence to such rumors.
- Tendulkar, a 52-year-old retired cricketer with no prior administrative role, has not publicly commented, and the final list of candidates after the September 12 nomination deadline may clarify likely contenders.
- The elections are expected to be shaped by consensus among key stakeholders with continuity likely in secretary and treasurer roles, while the presidency remains open with no confirmed successor.
