Mithun Manhas has never played for India but has represented Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), and defunct Pune Warriors.
The 52-year-old's management firm issued the statement on his behalf to put to rest theories of him being a possible successor to Roger Binny.
The former India captain, who stepped down from the BCCI president's post in October, will also oversee all the cricket verticals of the franchise along with the ILT20 team Dubai Capitals and the SA T230 league side Pretoria Capitals.
New BCCI president Roger Binny said, "Players getting frequently injured is a concern, and we wish to get to the bottom of it all and see how it can be changed for the better."
Bangalore-born Binny, who was part of India's historic 1983 World Cup-winning squad, steps into the shoes of Sourav Ganguly, widely regarded as one of cricket's greatest captains.
Sourav Ganguly the player and captain was dynamic. As BCCI president, however, he has been a disappointment
The action came after the social media users criticised and trolled the fortune rice bran oil add campaign wherein Sourav Ganguly was the brand ambassador. The brand claims as the oil keeps the heart healthy even after 40.
Anurag Thakur, who was today sacked as BCCI president for obstructing Lodha panel reforms, took a subtle dig at the Supreme Court's order saying that if the apex court feels the cricketing body will do well under the guidance of retired judges, "I wish them all the best".
Goel was asked about his views in the wake of the Supreme Court holding both Thakur, also a BJP Member of Parliament, and BCCI Secretary Ajay Shirke "prima facie" liable for contempt and perjury for not implementing Lodha Committee recommendations pertaining to reforms in cricket administration.
BCCI president Anurag Thakur today said that as long as the Income Tax Exemption of the Board remains withdrawn, it will be difficult to help Olympic sporting disciplines as much as they would have liked to.
Approximately two to three such applications are required per week that comes to 1,60,000 to 3,00,000 litres of water per week to maintain turf growth and repair damaged areas, he was quoted in a statement issued here today.
The decision was taken during the BCCI‘s 85th AGM meeting at its headquarters, here on Monday. Appointment of the ombudsman, or Ethics Officer, is one of the key changes that have been proposed in the BCCI's Memorandum of Rules and Regulations to be taken up at the AGM.
The 58-year-old, who began his second stint as President after being elected to the post at the Special General Body meeting, said his top priority is to restore the battered image of the Board and sought two months' time to put the house in order.
According the sources, Pawar and Srinivasan are confident of dectating terms at the BCCI elections and securing majority if voting happens.
The confirmation that Gurunath Meiyappan, the 'face' of Chennai Superkings and son in law of BCCI president N Srinivasan was involved in betting should have led to action against the CSK franchise, instead, there has been a deafening silence.
