The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) recently concluded its 93rd Annual General Meeting (AGM). Some notable key changes includes the election of Arun Singh Dhumal and Avishek Dalmiya into the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council.
V. Chamundeswarnath was nominated by the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) as a player representative and was inducted to the IPL Governing Council at the AGM. The audited accounts for FY 2023-24 were passed and adopted by the General Body and the Annual Budget of FY 2024-25 was approved by the General Body.
Recommendations of the IPL Governing Council with respect to the player auction cycle 2025-2027 were also approved. This included the provisions of player retentions, right to match, salary cap, etc.
Furthermore, the members of the General Body appreciated the efforts of the office bearers for the work undertaken with respect to the new National Cricket Academy campus, the Centre of Excellence.
The members unanimously resolved to maintain BCCI’s legal status as a society. The members further resolved that the tournaments of the BCCI, including IPL, shall not be converted to a company.
The 93rd Annual General Meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was held on September 29th, 2024, in Bengaluru.
In a significant shift in global cricket governance, Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is set to assume the role of Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in December 2024. Shah, who enjoys substantial support from key cricketing boards, including those of England and Australia, will replace the current chairman, Greg Barclay, whose tenure concludes in November. Rohan Jaitley is likely to succeed Shah as the next BCCI secretary, according to reports.
Shah's appointment marks a historic moment as he will become the third Indian to hold this prestigious position, following in the footsteps of Jagmohan Dalmiya (1997-2000) and Sharad Pawar (2010-2012). At just 35, Shah will also become the youngest chairman in the history of the ICC.
