Mithun Manhas Elected As New BCCI President
Technology Minister Dr Jitendra Singh: Former Delhi cricketer Mithun Manhas has been declared as the new Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president in the Annual General Meeting at the board's headquarters here on Sunday.
The BCCI president's chair fell vacant after Roger Binny stepped down from his role in August 2025, and Rajeev Shukla was acting as interim president. With his election, Manhas became only the third former cricketer, after Sourav Ganguly and Roger Binny, to assume the presidency role.
"A momentous occasion to celebrate! Mithun Manhas has been officially declared as the new President of the ‘Board of Control for Cricket in India’ #BCCI. What a providential Sunday for the erstwhile district of Doda, one of the remotest parts of Jammu & Kashmir, which incidentally also happens to be my own home district," Science and Technology Minister Dr Jitendra Singh shared on X.
