Former Delhi cricketer Mithun Manhas was on Sunday, September 28, elected the new BCCI president, becoming the first player to be born in Jammu and Kashmir to hold the position. He is the 37th elected individual to the prestigious post.

Manhas was the sole candidate in the running for the president’s position, which had remained vacant since former India all-rounder Roger Binny resigned in August.

Manhas, who will turn 46 in October, was part of the sub-committee appointed by BCCI to run the Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association.
