Devajit Saikia likely to be elected unopposed as BCCI secretary
India TodayDevajit Saikia, on Saturday, January 4, filed his nomination for the post of the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, while Prabhtej Bhatia applied for the post of the treasurer. Saikia, on the other hand, has been working as the interim secretary of the BCCI after Jay Shah replaced Greg Barclay as the chairman of the International Cricket Council. Binny exercised his constitutional authority to appoint Saikia as the acting secretary in an interim arrangement, pending the appointment of a permanent secretary in accordance with BCCI rules and regulations. In a letter addressed to Saikia, Binny referenced Clause 7 of the BCCI constitution, delegating secretarial powers to the Assam official, who also serves as the state's Advocate General.
