Former Delhi Cricketer Mithun Manhas Set to Become New BCCI President

Mithun Manhas, the former Delhi cricketer known for his consistency and leadership in domestic cricket, is poised to take over as the next president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), marking a significant transition from the field to one of the sport’s most influential administrative roles. Having enjoyed a long and successful first-class career with Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir, Manhas brings to the table a deep understanding of the domestic structure, the challenges faced by emerging players, and the dynamics of Indian cricket’s grassroots ecosystem. His appointment is being seen as a move that could bridge the gap between players and administrators, given his firsthand experience of the game’s demands. With the BCCI facing an era of heightened scrutiny, from managing player workloads and global scheduling conflicts to overseeing the expansion of women’s cricket and domestic reforms, Manhas’ tenure will come with both expectations and responsibilities. His track record as a player who thrived in pressure situations and later contributed in coaching and mentoring roles is likely to shape his leadership style, as he takes charge of steering Indian cricket’s future on both domestic and international fronts.
