BCCI reports 3000 crore rupee annual tax and updates selection news
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is undergoing administrative and selection shifts. As of September 2026, Mithun Manhas serves as President and Devajit Saikia as Honorary Secretary. Saikia recently clarified the board's financial status, stating that the BCCI pays approximately 3000 crore rupees in annual income tax to the central government, countering claims of tax exemptions and highlighting the organization's financial independence from government grants.
In selection news, former cricketer Ramesh Powar and Ashish Winston Zaidi are expected to join the national junior men’s selection committee. Meanwhile, discussions regarding the senior ODI squad for the upcoming West Indies series and the 2027 World Cup have emerged. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra noted that Rishabh Pant has been omitted from the ODI squad, suggesting a strategic shift where selectors view Pant as a vital Test player but are moving away from him in white-ball formats. The ODI squad includes Shubman Gill as captain, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returning to the lineup.
