MUMBAI: Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia filed nominations for the posts of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary and treasurer respectively and are set to be elected unopposed in the Special General Meeting to be held in Mumbai on January 12.
Saikia, the board's joint secretary, has been serving as the acting secretary after Jay Shah took over as International Cricket Council (ICC) Chair in December. His elevation will leave the joint secretary's post vacant for which elections will subsequently be held. The overhaul among office-bearers is a forced one with Ashish Shelar too vacating the treasurer's post after recently being inducted as a Maharashtra cabinet minister.
Saikia is advocate-general of Assam. A former first-class cricketer with four domestic caps for Assam, under him the Assam Cricket Association hosted IPL matches in Guwahati as well as warm-up matches of the 2023 ODI World Cup. The North-Eastern belt has gained prominence in the cricket board following the Justice RM Lodha reforms with new state units from the region getting voting rights.
