Is Sachin the Next BCCI President? Here's the Truth!

The most speculated question in recent times has been: who will be the next BCCI president, succeeding Roger Binny in one of the most prestigious roles in Indian cricket?

While names of a few seasoned administrators like Rajeev Shukla have popped up, one name that truly made waves was none other than the Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar. Reports claimed that the legend was being considered or even looking to contest for the BCCI’s top post.

The buzz picked up after Dainik Jagran reported that a legendary Indian cricketer, known for breaking multiple records, was being approached for the position. The news went viral quickly, and fans were thrilled at the thought of Tendulkar taking charge.

SRT Sports Management Pvt. Ltd. has issued a formal statement denying all such rumours.

“It has come to our attention that certain reports and rumours have been circulating regarding Mr. Sachin Tendulkar being considered, or nominated, for the position of President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI),”
The official statement read.

“We wish to categorically state that no such development has taken place. We urge all concerned to refrain from giving credence to unfounded speculations,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, the post of BCCI president remains vacant after Roger Binny stepped down earlier this year upon turning 70. As per the board’s constitution, no office-bearer is allowed to continue beyond that age.

For now, vice-president Rajeev Shukla has taken over as the acting president. The elections for new office-bearers are scheduled for September 28 during the BCCI Annual General Meeting.
