With the affiliated units of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) set to meet in Mumbai on Sunday, the decision makers met in the national capital on Saturday evening to decide on who will be the new office bearers of the board.
Even though the meeting went on late into the night, the three names that have come out as favourites to take control on October 23 are Jay Shah, Brijesh Patel and Sourav Ganguly.
While the final decision on who will wear the captain’s hat (President) and who will be deputy (Secretary) awaits, it is strongly believed that the trio of Brijesh, Jay and Ganguly could be given the responsibility of guiding the board post the era of the Committee of Administrators (CoA).
The likes of Arun Dhumal, Jayesh George and Prabhtej Patel could be handed the other hot seats in what will be a fresh start for the BCCI office bearers after the CoA hands over power on October 23.
Interestingly, while the likes of Anurag Thakur, N. Srinivasan, Sourav Ganguly, Rajeev Shukla and Niranjan Shah met in the capital, a few senior members who will be representing their associations in the BCCI elections held their own closed door meeting in Mumbai.
