Saikia, Prabhtej elected as cricket body's new secretary & treasurer, respectively, on Sunday
ALTHOUGH it was only a formality going into the Special General Meeting, the confirmation of Devajit Saikia as BCCI secretary and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia as treasurer marks a significant moment in the board's administration.
Saikia, who had been the joint secretary since 2022, succeeds Jay Shah, who left the job to take over as ICC Chair on December 1, 2024. Bhatia, meanwhile, would be taking up the role of Ashish Shelar, who had to step down after being sworn in as a minister in Maharashtra's cabinet last month. As for the vacancy of joint-secretary post which Saikia was holding, the BCCI will have to conduct an election in the next 45 days to fill the position.
