BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla revealed Sunday that former cricketer Mithun Manhas submitted his presidential candidacy at the board headquarters. Former Test player Raghuram Bhatt applied for treasurer while Prabhtej Bhatia seeks the joint secretary position. Arun Singh Dhumal will retain his IPL Governing Council leadership and Jaydev Shah filed for apex council membership. Shukla confirmed his continuation as vice-president with Devajit Saikia serving as secretary.
The 45-year-old Manhas represented Delhi before transferring to Jammu and Kashmir where he pursued coaching opportunities. His potential election would establish him as the third former player to hold the presidency after Sourav Ganguly and Roger Binny. Roger Binny vacated the presidential role during August 2025 while Shukla managed interim responsibilities. The Annual General Meeting on September 28 will finalize leadership selections following nomination filing on September 21 and candidate scrutiny on September 23.
