Mithun Manhas, a former Delhi captain and administrator for J&K Cricket Association, has been elected unopposed as the 37th BCCI president during the board's 94th annual general meeting in Mumbai. He succeeds Roger Binny, who stepped down in August, and expressed his commitment to the role, citing his administrative experience as a factor in his selection. The AGM confirmed that Rajeev Shukla remains vice-president and Devajit Saikia continues as secretary, while former Karnataka spinner Raghuram Bhat assumes the role of treasurer. Furthermore, the selection committees underwent reshuffles, notably Pragyan Ojha and RP Singh joining the senior men's panel led by Ajit Agarkar, and former India batter Amita Sharma becoming the chairperson of the senior women's selection committee. These appointments solidify the BCCI's administrative and selection structure moving forward.
