Ganguly will be participating in the AGM. © BCCI Apart from regular names like Sourav Ganguly (CAB), Jaydev Shah (Saurashtra), Arun Singh Dhumal (HPCA) and Rajeev Shukla (UPCA), most other members who will participate in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are usual suspects. Harbhajan Singh, of course, stands out as an outlier of sorts in the elite list of state representatives for the general body meeting. As reported earlier, he will represent the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) at the AGM, sparking intense speculation about his prospects as a potential candidate for the top BCCI post. The former India spinner, who played 103 Tests, has remained tight-lipped about his plans, but those close to him suggest his nomination is linked to his proximity to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and not much cannot be read into it. But it is unlikely the matter ends just with his friendship with the Punjab Chief Minister. It is certain that there is more to it. Apart from Harbhajan and his former India captain Ganguly, the other representatives with national or international playing experience include Jaydev Shah, Raghuram Bhatt (Karnataka), and Mithun Minhas (JKCA). Rohan Jaitley, son of the late Arun Jaitley – a former BCCI stalwart and a strongman of Delhi cricket, has been nominated by the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA). He is believed to be an influential person in the BCCI circle. Former BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary will represent the Haryana Cricket Association (HCA). Being nominated by the respective state associations is important considering that only those representatives can contest in the election, scheduled for September 28. There will be election for the posts of president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer and it is almost certain that the secretary Devajit Saikia (Assam), treasurer Prabhtej Singh Bhatia (Chhattisgarh) and joint secretary Rohan Dessa (Goa) will continue in their positions. The big question is who will be the president now that Roger Binny has crossed the age cap of 70 years. The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) has sent the name of Scindia’s son and newly-elected president Mahanaaryaman Rao Scindia. Among other influential representatives are Sanjay Naik (Mumbai), Rohit Pawar (Maharashtra), P Damodaran (Pondicherry) and Anil Patel (Gujarat). “The following Draft Electoral Roll lists the names of the entire Representative received from the Full Members of the BCCI through communication sent by them. The names have been listed after checking the completeness of the records as specified in paragraph 3 of the Electoral Officer’s Notice of Election Schedule and Call for Eligible Members to file applications to nominate their Respective Representative dated 06th September, 2025,” BCCI electoral officer AK Joti said in his note to the state associations.
