The former cricketer succeeded Sourav Ganguly as president in 2022 and has held the position ever since, until now, as reports are stating that he has stepped down from the role.

Rajeev Shukla Steps In As Interim Chief After Roger Binny Resigns: Report

One of the BCCI's rules states that an official cannot continue in office once they have surpassed a certain age cap of 70.

Since Roger Binny turned seventy years old on July 19, 2025, the buzz has been significant as he would no longer be eligible to continue in the role.

The BCCI apex council meeting took place on Wednesday, with Rajeev Shukla chairing the panel, as per Dainik Jagran. It would imply that VP Shukla has already taken over as the interim chief and is handling things until the elections are held.

However, no official word has been conveyed on whether Roger Binny has stepped down.
