Delhi's Mithun Manhas headlines BCCI's new panel; who are the new faces in Indian cricket board's new committee?

Mithun Manhas has become the frontrunner to replace Roger Binny as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after the former Delhi cricketer filed his nomination for the post in Mumbai on Sunday. The name of the 45-year-old came into the headlines after an informal meeting in New Delhi where the people in power decided to put Manhas' name for the top role in the BCCI.

Not just Manhas, a few other names have also been discussed for other key positions, which will be formally announced in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday (September 28). Notably, unlike the former two BCCI presidents (Sourav Ganguly and Roger Binny), Manhas has never played for the Indian national team at the international level.

While BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and vice-president Rajeev Shukla are set to continue at their respective positions, there will be a few new faces including Manhas in the new committee. Current Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal will also continue in his position.
