\u201cIn the last 18 years, we have faced many challenges, whether it was COVID, Operation Sindoor, or weather conditions that forced us to move a few matches. Thanks to our fantastic team, we've overcome all those difficulties. Going forward, we\u2019re going to make it the number one sports league in the world,\u201d Dhumal told reporters outside the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAll the members congratulated the new team which got appointed. And we would like to thank all the members for their confidence that they have bestowed upon the new team. And we are hoping for a great World Cup going forward, a great IPL going forward and we are giving our best wishes to our women\u2019s team for this coming World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking of the proceedings at the AGM and the points that were discussed, he added:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cNothing new. We discussed the progress we made in the last season, that came in the secretary meeting. Otherwise, it was a routine. My best wishes to each one of them and I am sure they will bring the BCCI to greater heights. We have done a phenomenal job under the previous leadership and we are hoping that BCCI would keep going from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
