With Jay Shah heading the ICC, the BCCI will start the process of electing a new secretary soon. The Indian board members will meet on September 29 in Bengaluru for the 93rd Annual General Body Meeting and are expected to give an update.
The AGM will also coincide with the inauguration of the state-of-the-art National Cricket Academy centre in the outskirts as all the board members will be present in the city.
Currently, the NCA functions at the M Chinnaswamy stadium premises since its inception over two decades back.
While it is unlikely that the election of the new board secretary will take place at the high-profile summit, the date for the Special General Meeting for that purpose could be fixed here.
The appointment of a new secretary was made mandatory after the incumbent Jay Shah was elected unanimously as the ICC Chairman.
However, Shah will not abdicate his present role as the BCCI secretary at the AGM because he has to assume the new office only from December 1.
The other important point in the meeting’s 18-point agenda, which has been sent to all the state associations, is the appointment of BCCI’s representative to the ICC meetings, as Shah will no longer be available for that role.
Current BCCI president Roger Binny might be discussed for the board’s representative to the ICC, or it could fall on the incoming secretary.
But at 69, Binny does not have age on his side with 70 being the upper ceiling to be in administration.
