Anurag Thakur is set to be unanimously elected BCCI President in
the Board's Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai tomorrow, replacing
Shashank Manohar who stepped down from the position to take up the ICC
chief's job.
Thakur, who is currently serving as the Secretary of the Board, is set to be proposed for the job by East Zone, whose turn it is to project the candidate for the coveted post.
Thakur, also a BJP MP in Lok Sabha, has the backing of all the east zone members including Bengal, Assam, Jharkhand, Tripura and the National Cricket Club.
The 41-year-old will be taking over the reins of the embattled Board in rather tough times as the BCCI is facing heat from the Supreme Court to implement the Justice R M Lodha Committee's recommendations for sweeping reforms.
