There is a school of thought in the BCCI circles that president's post should preferably be carried by some former India cricketer of repute just like Sourav Ganguly or Roger Binny.
Sources have informed CNN-News18 that current vice-president Rajeev Shukla is likely to step in as interim president for a three-month period until the BCCI's Annual General Meeting takes place in September.
BCCI President and former Indian seamer, Roger Binny, has attributed England's poor performance in the ongoing 5th Test at Dharamshala to Ben Stokes' aggressive captaincy. He also commended Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, for his patient and tactful leadership skills. To know more about Roger Binny's views on the ongoing series, watch the video.
