BCCI President Roger Binny has been technically disqualified as per the board's constitution, but uncertainty looms over whether he will step down or continue due to legal ambiguities.
According to the Lodha Committee reforms implemented by the Supreme Court, cricket administrators are allowed to serve a maximum of six consecutive years across state and national bodies. Roger Binny, having completed that span combining his tenure at the Karnataka State Cricket Association and the BCCI, is now technically ineligible to continue.
However, the situation is far from straightforward. Despite clear constitutional guidelines, Binny remains in office, and no official action or announcement has been made regarding his disqualification. This has sparked debate and legal confusion within the BCCI and among cricket governance observers.
Many insiders suggest that loopholes or ambiguous interpretations in the amended BCCI constitution may be providing grounds for continued occupancy. Critics, however, argue that this undermines the intent of judicially backed reforms meant to promote transparency and accountability.
