Each captain has a different way of operating, says BCCI chief Roger Binny | Cricket News – Times of India

CHENNAI: BCCI president Roger Binny on Friday refused to compare the captaincy of current skipper Rohit Sharma with the likes of Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying each one of them had a different way of leading the national team. "Rohit is an experienced player. He has played so many matches and been in so many situations. Everyone has a different approach. Dhoni is totally different, you can't compare him, Kapil or Gavaskar. Each one has a different way of how they operate," he said. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 90th annual day of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association here, the former India cricketer said if the openers provided a strong start there was a better chance of the team winning matches. "The powerplay is one of the important areas. I think the openers ...

MELBOURNE: The BCCI representative in the all powerful ICC Board is likely to head the Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&CA) committee of the global cricket body. While BCCI hadn't yet made it official, secretary Jay Shah looks likely to be Indian representative at the decision making ICC board unless he decides to send Roger Binny there and remain a part of the Chief Executives Committee. The F&CA committee is the most important of all the subsidiary committees of ICC and for some years, BCCI representatives weren't a part of it till former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly became its member. "If Jay is representing the BCCI in the ICC Board, then he will automatically be part of F&CA committee. But India has not been heading the F&CA for a long time and it's BCCI's turn to...

India need govt clearance to travel to other countries, can’t take decisions on our own: Roger Binny on Asia Cup issue

BCCI president Roger Binny on Thursday said that the government has to clear which country the Indian team travels to and the board can’t take decisions on its own. Binny said this when he was posed with a question on the recent decision of India to not travel to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup. “That isn’t our call. We can’t say where our team has to go. We need to take clearance from Govt if we leave the country, or other countries come here. We can’t take that decision on our own, we’ve to rely on govt,” Binny said as quoted by ANI.

Binny inspires hopes of a return to decency and decorum

Change is often accompanied by hope. When Sourav Ganguly became president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, there was hope. Hope that a Test cricketer would set things right after the BCCI had been embroiled in court cases and conflict of interest issues. Hope that someone outside of the board’s political system would help drive the reforms laid down by the Supreme Court and the Lodha Commission. Hope that domestic cricketers had someone in their corner.In the end, none of this happened. Ganguly’s main interest seemed to be Ganguly. He was entangled in conflict of interest himself — endorsing a fantasy cricket league that was a rival to one of the BCCI’s official sponsors. He helped dilute the Lodha reforms along with the BCCI secretary, Jay Shah, son of India’s Home Ministe...

We wish to get to the bottom of why players are suffering injuries frequently: Roger Binny | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: In his first interaction with the media after succeeding former India skipper Sourav Ganguly as the new BCCI president, India's 1983 World Cup winner Roger Binny spelled out his top priority for now: investigating why India's premier pacers are breaking down frequently. Just before the T20 World Cup, India suffered a big blow when they lost key pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar, to injuries. Being a seamer himself, Binny knows how fragile fast bowlers' bodies are, and what can be done to ensure they remain injury-free. "We will look to improve on what we can do to reduce the injuries to players. Bumrah got injured just before the World Cup, which affects the whole plan," Binny said after being elected unopposed as the new BCCI chief, with the new set of office-bearers by ...

Meet new BCCI president Roger Binny: Railway guard’s son, World Cup winner, dog-rescuer, loves fishing but doesn’t rock the boat

When Roger Binny was in his early 20s, Hemu Adhikari, the former all-rounder turned coach, spotted a peculiarity in the young medium pacer’s bowling action during a summer camp in Mumbai. In his pre-delivery stride, Binny’s non-landing foot pointed backwards – a habit from his javelin throwing days. Old school army man Adhikari tried his best to reposition the foot. He first tapped Binny’s ankle, later even tied bamboo strips. But nothing worked. “After a week or 10 days they said go back to the old thing. It was a natural movement for me. I had been bowling thousands of balls before that. I knew what worked for me,” Binny recalls. “Patience is one of my virtues,” says the 1983 World Cup winner, known to speak his mind but unlikely to rock the boat. Roger Binny has been a keen angle...

Maybe I’ll go on to do bigger things: Sourav Ganguly | Cricket News – Times of India

'Many good things in 3 years as board president'KOLKATA: Sourav Ganguly seems to have reconciled with the inevitable. With five days of his tenure as the BCCI president still remaining, he is already referring to it in the past tense. "I was the CAB president for five years. Then I was the Board president for three years," he said at a promotional event, while reflecting on his days as an administrator. "In these three years, so many good things have happened. We had IPL during the Covid pandemic, such difficult times for all of us. We won the U-19 World Cup. The broadcast rights went for an all-time high. And, I wish the senior women team had won the Commonwealth Games gold, they could have beaten Australia. These were great moments for me as an administrator," he said. The reference c...

Can’t remain administrator forever: Sourav Ganguly

After remaining silent for a couple of days after his tenure as BCCI president was not renewed, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly responded by saying he “can’t be an administrator forever”. As Ganguly’s term as BCCI president comes to an end, political parties in West Bengal are alleging foul play by the BJP. Pointing to how Ganguly had been courted by the BJP ahead of the 2021 Assembly elections, they have alleged that the former India skipper was paying the price for saying no to the BJP. Roger Binny, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning Indian team, filed his nomination for the post of BCCI president on Tuesday and is set to get the top job unopposed when the Board holds its Annual General Meeting on October 18.
