The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will soon come under the jurisdiction of the National Sports Governance Bill, to be tabled in Parliament on Wednesday. A top sport ministry official announced this on Tuesday, stating that with the bill turned into a law, the BCCI would have to obey the same rules as every other national sports federation. The source revealed: “Like all National federations, the BCCI will have to comply with the law of the land once this bill becomes an act.” The BCCI has finally joined the Olympic movement following cricket's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Through this bill, the government has sought to introduce a robust system for periodic elections, improved administrative accountability, and enhanced welfare for players in all sporting bodies.

Currently, it is 70, but the proposed bill would see it raised to 75 subject to terms. This will directly affect the BCCI, whose present president, Roger Binny, celebrated his 70th birthday on July 19. Under normal circumstances, Binny would have been required to relinquish his post, but since the bill is set to become operational in August, he can remain president for a further minimum of three years, and possibly even five, provided he gets re-elected. Under the proposed change, anyone between the ages of 70 and 75 can run elections or be in office if there is permission from international charters, statues, and by-laws. Once in office, they can complete their term even if they pass 70 in that time. This alteration may also postpone Rajeev Shukla, who is the incumbent BCCI vice-president, from becoming the president since Binny will now be able to remain in office.
