Binny was elected as the 36th President of BCCI in October 2022. He replaced former India captain Sourav Ganguly, whose three -year term ended. Binny was the only nominated for the situation and was elected unopposed.

State Unions can update their submissions before 19 September. The final announcement is expected to be held in Delhi on Saturday night, and while the BJP usually does not interfere in sports administration, they are supporting leadership roles, which may be the same for the next BCCI chief.
