India’s 1983 World Cup winning hero Roger Binny is likely to replace Sourav Ganguly as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President.

According to sources, the final decision would be taken when the Board will hold its AGM on the 18th of October.  The sources in the cricket body said on Tuesday saying, after hectic parleys and back-channel discussions in the past one week, it was decided that the 67-year-old from Bengaluru would be the 36th Board president.

However, Mr. Jay Shah, the son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will continue as BCCI Secretary for his second consecutive term. Shah is also expected to replace Ganguly as India’s representative at the all powerful ICC Board.

“An influential minister in the central government played a key role in deciding the positions in the Board set up,” a BCCI source told PTI. Binny, though, is a surprise choice to head the BCCI.
