BCCI SGM: Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia to Be Officially Named as Board Secretary and Treasurer

Mumbai, Jan 11: Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia will be officially elected as the BCCI secretary and treasurer respectively during the Special General Meeting (SGM) here on Sunday. Saikia and Prabhtej were the only candidates in the fray for the vacant posts once BCCI electoral officer and former CEC of India, Achal Kumar Joti finalised the list on Tuesday. Happy Birthday Rahul Dravid!

Saikia has been working as the BCCI interim secretary since Jay Shah took over as the ICC chairman on December 1. The BCCI constitution stipulates that any post lying vacant should be filled within 45 days by calling a SGM, and Sunday's meeting is well within that period, holding on the 43rd day.

Bhatia filed the nomination for the treasurer's post after incumbent Ashish Shelar took oath as a cabinet minister in the Maharashtra government recently. India's Champions Trophy 2025 Squad Announcement Likely To Be Delayed With BCCI Seeking an Extension From the ICC: Report.

While the election of the two important office-bearers is the main point on the agenda, ICC chairman Shah will attend the SGM as a “special invitee.”

Shah, the youngest to assume the ICC Chairman office, will be felicitated by the state units alongside the SGM, apart from discussing some routine points. Shah had replaced Greg Barclay as ICC chief last month.
