The BCCI meeting at Amit Shah house will decide India’s next cricket president. Important cricket officials will gather at the Home Minister’s residence on September 20. This special meeting shows some major decisions of the Indian cricket administration.
Top Candidates Fight for BCCI President Position
Sourav Ganguly wants to become BCCI president again after losing his position. The former Indian captain has strong support from several state cricket associations. Many cricket fans remember Ganguly’s successful leadership during his previous presidential term.
Harbhajan Singh also wants to lead Indian cricket as the new president. The former spinner has gained political connections that could help his campaign. Singh believes his playing experience will benefit the BCCI’s future cricket development.
Raghuram Bhatt and Kiran More have shown interest in the presidential race. But More faces problems because of the state association representation rules currently. These complicated rules might stop More from running for president completely.
N Srinivasan criticized Sourav Ganguly harshly in a previous important meeting. This criticism damaged Ganguly’s chances of winning the presidential election significantly. Srinivasan’s comments created problems for Ganguly’s supporters within the cricket board.
Final Preparations Before September 28 Elections
The BCCI electoral officer set September 19 as the deadline for nominations. State associations must submit their final candidate lists by this date. Any delays will automatically disqualify potential candidates from the presidential race.
The BCCI meeting at Amit Shah house will influence these final decisions. Home Minister Amit Shah holds significant power over the Indian sports administration currently.
His opinions about cricket leadership carry massive weight among BCCI officials. State associations often follow Shah’s guidance when choosing their preferred candidates.
New National Selectors Also Getting Chosen
The Cricket Advisory Committee interviews candidates for national selector positions simultaneously. Ashok Malhotra and Jatin Paranjpe lead these important selection interviews currently. They must choose seven new selectors for different cricket committees.
The BCCI meeting at Amit Shah house will also discuss these selector appointments. New selectors will start working after the Annual General Meeting ends. These appointments will shape India’s cricket team selections for years ahead.
