New Delhi: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has been unanimously elected as the new president of BCCI.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah will be the new secretary while Arun Dhumal will be the new treasurer. Dhumal is the younger brother of MoS Finance and former BCCI president Anurag Thakur. Monday is the last day to file nominations but no election will be held since all candidates have emerged unopposed after weeks of lobbying and hectic parleys.
The 47-year-old Ganguly, who is currently the president of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), will have to demit his post in September 2020 as he will go into compulsory cooling off period.
