Even as the nomination process, at least for the top two positions, on Tuesday is set to play out on the expected lines with Roger Binny in line to be the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Jay Shah staying on as the secretary, there may be a shake-up in the Indian Premier League (IPL) setup.
Arun Singh Dhumal could be the next chairman of the IPL. Another change to be introduced among the office-bearers is that of Ashish Shelar, the BJP strongman from Mumbai. Shelar is likely to file papers for the treasurer post, vacated by Dhumal with Rajeev Shukla, who was hoping for the top IPL job, continuing as the vice-president. Assam Cricket Association's Devajit Saikia is set to be the new joint secretary, coming in place of Jayesh George of Kerala.
A change of guard in the IPL Governing Council was expected as outgoing chairman, Brijesh Patel, is no longer eligible because of the age cap for such positions. He will be 70 this November and cannot hold the position. The vacancy has led to a lot of string-pulling with Shukla aspiring for the role. However, the backroom planners of the BCCI and BJP pulled off a surprise by naming Dhumal, erstwhile treasurer, for the IPL role.
Shelar has been blowing hot and cold lately, particularly since the Supreme Court permitted MPs and MLAs to hold positions in the State and BCCI setups. Shelar initially hinted that he will stay in the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and he even filed nomination for the president post on Monday. Now his entry into the BCCI line-up is a surprise of sorts.
What, however, is not a surprise is the absence of Sourav Ganguly in the new dispensation. It was always a foregone conclusion that he would not continue as the president, with the last nail on the coffin coming at the recent Delhi meeting where he was criticised for non-performance. Whether he will be nominated to the International Cricket Council (ICC) is to be seen but at this stage it looks unlikely

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who reached Mumbai on Monday evening, had a lot of meetings with the stakeholders of the national cricket body in New Delhi, last week. The former India captain was keen to continue as BCCI President but he was told that there is no precedence of giving a second term to the Board president. "Sourav was offered IPL chairmanship but he politely declined the offer. His logic was that he cannot accept becoming head of a sub-committee in BCCI after heading the same institution. He had expressed interest in continuing in the position," the BCCI source said.
Arun Singh Dhumal, who is currently the treasurer, is likely to become IPL chairman. In case of Dhumal, the decision makers waited for Ganguly to take a call on IPL chairmanship and once he refused, they promoted the Himachal man, who has been known to be one of the most efficient men in last BCCI cabinet.
With Ganguly moving out of the picture, the East representation was always going to be Assam CM Biswa Sarma's call as he played a key role even last time.
The names of members in the BCCI Apex Council and IPL Governing Council will be known when the final list will be published in a few days.
India's 1983 World Cup winning hero Roger Binny is likely to replace Sourav Ganguly as the BCCI President when the Board will hold its AGM on October 18, sources in the cricket body said on Tuesday. After hectic parleys and back-channel discussions in the past one week, it was decided that the 67-year-old from Bengaluru would be the 36th Board president, one of the sources familiar with the development, said.
Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is likely to continue as BCCI Secretary for his second consecutive term. Shah is also expected to replace Ganguly as India's representative at the all powerful ICC Board.
"An influential minister in the central government played a key role in deciding the positions in the Board set up," a BCCI source told PTI.
Binny, though, is a surprise choice to head the BCCI. However, hints were dropped that his name will crop up for some position when Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) named him as its representative at BCCI AGM instead of secretary Santosh Menon.

Sourav Ganguly is set to be replaced as president of Indian cricket, with the former captain's backers claiming he has been forced out for refusing to join the ruling political party.
Ganguly is widely regarded as one of the sport's greatest captains and has been in charge of the powerful Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the past three years.
He had been widely tipped to earn a second term as president when the board holds its annual general meeting next Tuesday.
But Ganguly, 50, is said to have declined to join Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This week the 1983 World Cup winner Roger Binny filed his nomination to replace Ganguly and will likely be elected unopposed next week, board vice-president Rajeev Shukla told reporters.
Politicians from Ganguly's home state of West Bengal alleged that the former batsman was forced out.
It was a "political vendetta" by the government, opposition lawmaker Santanu Sen said on Twitter.
"We are with you Dada!" he added, referring to Ganguly by his nickname.
Ganguly's political allegiance has been a regular source of media speculation in recent months and the country's home minister Amit Shah visited him at home earlier this year.
India's top court recently relaxed a rule that barred sporting officials from consecutive terms in office in the same position, opening the way for Shah's son Jay -- the BCCI secretary -- and Ganguly to seek reappointment.
The BJP have denied involvement in the board's looming vote and accused their opponents of politicising the issue.
"Sourav Ganguly is a cricketing legend. Some people are now shedding crocodile tears about the changes in BCCI," said the party's vice-president Dilip Ghosh.
Current BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal, younger brother of the country's sports minister Anurag Thakur, is expected to be elected chairman of the Indian Premier League.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly is on his way out as the president, with Roger Binny likely to be his successor. Though reports claim that Ganguly wanted to continue as the chief of the board, he reportedly didn't get the backing he wanted from other members. An official statement on the matter and his impending exit as the BCCI president is yet to come but Ganguly has confirmed that he will 'move on to something else'.
Speaking at a Bandhan Bank event, Ganguly said confirmed that he has been an administrator for a long time and is now looking to move on to something else.
"I have been an administrator and I will move on to something else," he said at the event. "Whatever you do in life the best days are when you played for India. I have been president of BCCI and I will go on to do bigger things. You can't be a player forever, you can't be an administrator forever. It's been great doing both"
"I never believed in history but the feeling in the past was east lacked talent to play at that level. You don't become an Ambani or Narendra Modi in one day. You have to work for months and years to get there," he further said.
Ganguly also opened up on his experience leading the Indian team as captain.
"It was six captains leading the team. I stood up for Rahul when he was almost dropped from the one day side. I took their suggestions in picking the team. These things don't go unnoticed in a team environment," he said.
"It's not just the runs I scored. People remember other things. It's what you do as a leader for them," said the outgoing BCCI chief.
Roger Binny is all but set to replace Ganguly at the helm. He has already filed his nomination papers and is likely to be elected unopposed. While Ganguly is on his way out as the BCCI president, Jay Shah will continue to remain the board's secretary. A few other changes in the BCCI are also expected to be made as the top brass undergoes a reshuffle.

Roger Binny, former Indian cricket team star and member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, was on Tuesday named as the 36th president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). His appointment was announced at the BCCI AGM in Mumbai. Binny replaces former India captain Sourav Ganguly. Binny, 67, was the only candidate to have filed nomination for the BCCI president's post.
The election of the next set of office-bearers was a mere formality as all are set to be elected unopposed.
Binny, in his recent stint, was the Karnataka State Cricket Association President and will now leave his position in the state body. The medium pacer was one of the architects of India's historic World Cup triumph in 1983. In eight games, he took 18 wickets, the highest in that edition of prestigious tournament.
Binny has served as member of senior selection committee in the past when Sandeep Patil was the chairman. Whenever his son Stuart Binny's name came up for discussion for selection in the Indian team, he would recuse himself from the proceedings.
Earlier, according to a PTI report, Ganguly had a lot of meetings with the stakeholders in New Delhi, last week. The former India captain was keen to continue as BCCI President but he was told that there is no precedence of giving a second term to the Board president.
"Sourav was offered IPL chairmanship but he politely declined the offer. His logic was that he cannot accept becoming head of a sub-committee in BCCI after heading the same institution. He had expressed interest in continuing in the position," the BCCI source said.
In case of Dhumal, the decision makers waited for Ganguly to take a call on IPL chairmanship and once he refused, they promoted the Himachal man, who, along with secretary Shah, are known to be the most efficient men in last BCCI cabinet.

Ganguly didn't deliver. All talk and no show.
Expected much better from DADA but he looked like a puppet as BCCI head.

Ganguly got the job by sucking up to BJP but after BJP's disaster show in last year Bengal elections - he started to distance himself from the BJP - which is why he got sacked
Ganguly is the most shameless opportunist in Indian cricket. Has no principles

Ganguly never joined BJP, never campaigned for BJP. He was not responsible for BJP's defeat in Bengal.
Since 1951, thats the first bcci election after Independence, No bcci president has ruled for more than 3 years continuously. Not Dalmiya, Not Scindia, Not Pawar, Not Srinivasan. No one. Ganguly was not going to get another term as various factions wanted their own guy too. This is why Avishek Dalmiya moved to IPL GC and BCCI apex council and Ganguly now takes over CAB.
BCCI Ethics Officer Serves Conflict Of Interest Notice To President Roger Binny: Report

PTI has learnt that Saran has asked Binny to file a written response by December 20 against the conflict of interest allegations levelled against him. The complainant, Sanjeev Gupta, has alleged that Binny is conflicted as his daughter-in-law works for Star Sports which has home season media rights for Indian cricket.
"You are hereby informed that a complaint has been received under Rule 39(2)(b) of the Rules and Regulations of BCCI by the Ethics Officer, BCCI for breach of Rule 38 (1) (i) and Rule 38(2) of the said rules, constituting an instance of "conflict of interest" on your part.

Nope, that would be Amit Shah's son who tried pretty hard to convince Saurav Chandidas Ganguly to join BJP. It seems you also got hurt because of that and are now calling Ganguly shameless.

While speaking to a local channel, Sourav Ganguly said:
"When I handed Rohit Sharma the captaincy of the Indian team, everyone criticised me. Now that India has won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, everyone has stopped abusing me for it. In fact, I think everyone has forgotten that it was I who appointed him as the captain of the Indian team."
"I am planning for the next IPL. I want DC to win this time. I will speak to the management about appointing an Indian as the head coach."
"I want to give a shot as the head coach. I will bring in some new players. Wanted to bring in Jamie Smith from England. I wanted to test him out in Delhi's SA20 franchise. He wanted to come in but the schedules did not match."

John wright , nz coach of 2011 wc wasn't happy with Ross Taylor style of captaincy as Taylor cared about his stats alone but nothing else.So he recommended baz for his selfless and aggressive approach. Wright never claimed any recognition for nz fortunes revival but ganguly desperately wants to score brownie points over kohli.typical desi mentality.
