Mithun Manhas, who played 157 First-Class, 130 List A and 55 IPL matches in a long domestic career from 1997-98 to 2016-17, filed his nomination for the post of BCCI president at the board’s headquarters here ahead of the deadline later this afternoon- and has emerged as the front runner to take over the role left vacant by the exit of Roger Binny.
The 45-year-old Manhas’ name came to the fore after an informal meeting held in New Delhi, where it was decided by those in power to put forth his name for the role of BCCI president. A few other key positions in the Indian cricket board will be filled up here next Sunday during the annual general meeting of the Board.
“A new body is being made for the next term. Mithun Manhas is a former player and it was decided to make him the president. Arun Dhumal is the chairman of the IPL governing council and he will continue in that position,” BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla told the media here.
