BCCI AGM: Roger Binny, 1983 World Cup Winner, Replaces Sourav Ganguly As New BCCI Chief

Binny was the highest wicket-taker for India as he picked up 18 wickets in eight games.

In the BCCI AGM meeting on Tuesday, former India cricketer Roger Binny replaced Sourav Ganguly as the new BCCI President. Binny is now the 36th president of the BCCI. He is not a novice to cricket administration as he had been assigned several positions with the Karnataka Cricket Association. In 2019, he was picked as KSCA's president.  Roger Binny has served as the senior national men's team selector in the past and was on the panel when the squad for the 2015 World Cup was picked. 

After Binny replaced Sourav Ganguly as the new BCCI chief, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin said, "He (Roger Binny) is a nice man. I have played a lot of cricket with him and we have fond memories."

Roger Binny is one of the finest players to have played for India. He donned the Indian jersey in a total of 27 Test matches and 72 ODIs in which he scalped 47 and 77 wickets respectively.  Binny was a part of the Indian squad that won the 1983 World Cup. He played a crucial role in India’s winning run under Kapil Dev.

Binny was the highest wicket-taker for India as he picked up 18 wickets in eight games. Binny again starred for India at the 1985 World Championship of Cricket where he took  17 wickets and India lifted the trophy under the leadership of  Sunil Gavaskar.
