Former India pacer Roger Binny stepped down as President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), with Rajeev Shukla, the board's Vice-President, assuming charge as the acting chief until fresh elections are conducted.

According to a report by Dainik Jagran, an Apex Council meeting of the BCCI was convened on Wednesday under Shukla’s leadership. The central focus of the meeting was the board's sponsorship situation, particularly in light of the termination of Dream11’s contract as the official sponsor.

The board now faces the pressing task of securing a new sponsor for the upcoming two-and-a-half-year cycle. With the Asia Cup scheduled to begin on September 10, the timeline for finding a suitable replacement is tight, posing a significant logistical challenge for the administration.
