Ever since Jay Shah transitioned from his role at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to become the new ICC chairman, the cricket board has seen a wave of leadership changes. Now, the latest name in this domino effect is Rohan Desai from Goa, who is expected to be appointed as the new BCCI joint secretary on March 1, 2025.
Leadership Shifts at BCCI
With Jay Shah’s departure, Devajit Saikia was elevated from joint secretary to the honorary secretary of BCCI earlier this year. Alongside him, Prabhtej Singh Bhatia was named the new treasurer. This left the joint secretary position vacant, leading to the search for a suitable candidate.
According to reports from Cricblogger, the BCCI Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai on March 1 will finalize Desai’s appointment, making him a key part of the board’s administrative structure.
Rohan Desai: The New Face of BCCI Administration
Desai currently serves as the secretary of the Goa Cricket Association (GCA) and has been instrumental in shaping cricket administration in the region. Sources indicate that multiple candidates from West Zone were considered, leading to intense discussions before the board finalized Desai’s name.
What’s Next for BCCI?
With Desai stepping in as joint secretary, the BCCI continues its recent trend of appointing office bearers from lesser-known cricketing states, a move aimed at broadening leadership representation across the country.
As the BCCI SGM in Mumbai approaches, all eyes will be on how these leadership changes will impact the administration of Indian cricket.
