Mumbai is buzzing as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) prepares for a high-voltage election day. The 94th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place on September 28, 2025, at the BCCI headquarters. The big news? All top posts — president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary, and treasurer — will be up for grabs! BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia sent a formal notice inviting all state associations to this exciting event. "You are kindly requested to attend the meeting," he wrote, attaching important minutes from previous meetings. The mandate is clear: the cricket world is watching Mumbai that day! Interestingly, this electrifying election day clashes with another blockbuster event — the Asia Cup final in Dubai, also hosted by BCCI. Cricket fans will have their hearts split between two thrilling stages! The elections will likely follow the ongoing Lodha reforms, while the new National Sports Governance Bill waits in the wings for future impact. The Times of India had earlier reported Rajeev Shukla as the front-runner for the president’s post after Roger Binny stepped down after reaching 70 years of age. However, there's also whispers about a famous former Indian cricket star possibly entering the race, keeping everyone on their toes. The secretary’s post looks equally thrilling. Saikia, a former Assam wicketkeeper and current secretary since January 12, 2025, has impressed insiders. "Saikia has done a good job so far," sources say. But watch out — big cricket names like IPL chairman Arun Dhumal and ex-treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary are also in the mix. Chaudhary is even tipped to become the next IPL chairman if he misses the secretary spot. Other office-bearers expected to continue include Goa’s Rohan Desai as joint secretary and Chhattisgarh’s Prabhtej Singh Bhatia as treasurer. The AGM will also discuss key topics like: - Adding Indian Cricketer’s Association members to the Apex Council. - Selecting representatives for the IPL Governing Council. - Creating the Women's Premier League Committee. - Appointing the BCCI Ombudsman and Ethics Officer. The agenda is packed! Besides elections, reports will be reviewed, budgets set, committees formed, and rules ratified. The cricket world holds its breath as BCCI gears up for this mega meeting that shapes the future of Indian cricket. So, September 28, 2025, is no ordinary day. With the thrill of the Asia Cup final and the power-packed BCCI elections happening together, cricket lovers will have an unforgettable dose of drama, decisions, and excitement!
