Former Delhi captain Mithun Manhas is reportedly all set to become the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President. Several media reports claimed that he is set to be elected unopposed at the board's annual general meeting (AGM) on September 28. While the news came as a surprise to many, a report by Times Of India revealed the details about a high-profile meeting where the decision over Manhas was taken. According to the report, the BCCI found themselves in a 'fix' with no clean choice emerging for the position. The board was clear about the fact that they wanted a cricketer to fill the spot in accordance with the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha committee's recommendations, which were included in the BCCI constitution in 2019.
As a result, the available options were Manhas, former India captain Sourav Ganguly, Raghuram Bhat and Harbhajan Singh.
