Roger Binny is almost certainly going to succeed Ganguly as manager. He has already submitted his nomination and is most likely to win without any challengers. Jay Shah will continue to serve as the board’s secretary even though Ganguly is about to step down as BCCI president. As the top brass is rearranged, a few other adjustments to the BCCI are also anticipated. However an official comment on the situation and his expected resignation of Ganguly as BCCI president has not yet been released.
