Delhi and District Central Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley is reported to be expecting to take over as the next BCCI Secretary. Jay Shah will become the new chairman of international Cricket Council (ICC). Jay Shah is yet to submit his nomination for the ICC post.
A report suggests that there is a growing consensus inside of the BCCI in favour of Rohan Jaitley, who is to succeed Jay Shah as the secretary. However the other key officials inside of the BCCI, including president Roger Binny will stay in their positions, since their tenures are not expiring for another year.
In a previous report, the former president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), Avishek Dalmiya was named as a potential candidate who might replace Jay Shah as the new BCCI secretary. Other potential candidates include the name of Dilsher Khanna from Punjab, Vipul Phadke from Goa, and Prabhtej Bhatia from Chhattisgarh. However, the chances of a completely new person to be appointed remains a potential possibility.
“Obviously, it can happen as there are no hard and fast rules. But if you look at BCCI’s power structure, president, secretary and treasurer are three key posts,” said a former BCCI secretary.
“There are people who have been in the system and someone just coming and bypassing them normally doesn’t happen. But first, is Jay ready to go to the ICC? Even if he doesn’t go now, he can go anytime,” he added.
