The issue of ICC chairmanship will be up for discussion when the BCCI holds it Annual General Meeting (AGM), where former India cricketer Roger Binny will replace Sourav Ganguly as the new Board President in Mumbai on Tuesday. The election of the next set of office-bearers will be a mere formality as all are set to be elected unopposed. However, the member will deliberate if BCCI should field a candidate for the ICC chair or support incumbent Greg Barclay for a second term.

The last date for filing the nominations for the ICC top job is October 20. The ICC Board will meet from November 11-13 in Melbourne. The much-debated exit of Ganguly from the BCCI has already garnered attention not just in sporting but in political arena too and it will be interesting to see if the former skipper is considered for the top job.

The Annual General Meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is underway at Mumbai's Taj Hotel.

The other names doing the rounds include Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and former BCCI president N Srinivasan. Srinivasan is eligible to contest but it remains to be seen if BCCI wants him to throw his hat in the ring, considering his age. He is 78.

BCCI AGM: Board unlikely to forward anyone’s name for ICC’s Role

The last date for filing ICC nominations is Thursday (October 20) and the consenus developing in BCCI is that this time the Indian board will not forward anyone’s name. “The Board hierarchy has made up its mind to not consider anyone for the ICC top post. The option will be put before the members — should the Board have its own candidate or support Barclay.

“Let’s put it straight: A change can only be considered if someone from the BJP high command decides to step in. Otherwise, it’s almost final that none is being considered,” a source told The Telegraph newspaper.
