BCCI AGM underway with new men’s selection chief, ICC representative on agenda

The 95th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) began at the board's headquarters in Mumbai on Friday, with the appointment of a new men's selection chief among the key decisions expected to be taken.

BCCI president Mithun Manhas, vice-president Rajeev Shukla, secretary Devajit Saikia, former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, Saurabh Tiwari and Abhishek Dalmiya were among those who arrived at the venue for the meeting.

The AGM is also expected to consider India's nomination for the International Cricket Council (ICC), alongside a range of administrative and governance matters concerning Indian cricket.

The board will consider its audited accounts for the 2025-26 financial year and deliberate on the annual budget for 2026-27. The appointment of the BCCI's auditor is also on the agenda.

Selection panel turns to New Zealand

The appointment of the new men's selection chief comes as the senior selection panel prepares for India's next major assignments.

With India's squad for the multi-format white-ball home series against the West Indies, beginning later this month, having been announced on Wednesday, the selectors will now focus on finalising the India and India 'A' squads for the tour of New Zealand in October-November.

India are scheduled to play five T20Is, five ODIs and two Tests against New Zealand.

India 'A' will also tour New Zealand, playing three unofficial Tests from late October. The series will serve as a 'shadow tour' ahead of India's two-Test assignment against New Zealand.

Rohit Sharma back in spotlight

Rohit Sharma's future is likely to remain a talking point as India prepare for the New Zealand tour.

The veteran batter retained his place in India's squad for the West Indies series after scoring a century at Lord's against England.

His continued presence in the squad means his future in India's white-ball plans is likely to remain under scrutiny as the selectors begin putting together the team for the New Zealand assignment.
