Ganguly, Bhajji, Raghuram, Jaydev Frontrunners In BCCI Chief Race; Kiran More In Contention Too
The Final Electoral Roll, released by Electoral Officer A.K. Joti on September 19, features four former cricketers and administrators — Sourav Ganguly (Cricket Association of Bengal), Harbhajan Singh (Punjab Cricket Association), Raghuram Bhat (Karnataka State Cricket Association) and Jaydev Shah (Saurashtra Cricket Association) — who are seen as frontrunners for the top post. Their presence has strengthened calls for cricketer-administrators to lead the world’s richest cricket body.
Adding intrigue is Kiran More, the former India wicketkeeper, ex-national selector and current Baroda Cricket Association secretary. Though not listed as a state representative in the roll, sources indicate a provision exists for his nomination. More, who has also worked with Mumbai Indians and is currently General Manager of the MI Women’s side in the WPL, is regarded as a seasoned hand with both cricketing and administrative credentials.
