‘Legacy That Must Be Carried Forward, Ready For It’: Mithun Manhas On BCCI Presidency
Annual General Meeting: BCCI president Mithun Manhas stated that his role carries ‘great responsibility’ and described it as a legacy that ‘must be carried forward’. Manhas was elected as the board’s chair at the Annual General Meeting held at the board's headquarters in Mumbai on September 28.
The BCCI president's post fell vacant after Roger Binny stepped down in August 2025, and Rajeev Shukla served as the board’s interim president. With his election, Manhas became only the third former cricketer, after Sourav Ganguly and Roger Binny, to assume the presidency role.
Speaking exclusively to IANS on Sunday, Manhas acknowledged that the role assigned to him is a big responsibility, saying, “The role of BCCI President comes with a great responsibility - it is a legacy that must be carried forward. We are ready for it; our team is capable, and we will strive to continue the good work so that not only the women’s team but also the men’s team reaches even greater heights and Indian cricket continues to rise.”
