Binny was a part of the 1983 World Cup-winning team. He has given his services as President of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). He became the third Test cricketer to head the BCCI after Maharaja of Vizianagaram and Sourav Ganguly, whose term ended at the BCCI AGM.

Binny, the 67-year-old has taken the charge as the cricket board’s chief just when the Indian team is in Australia and participating in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. After the end of the tournament, all eyes will be on the One-Day World Cup, which is scheduled to be hosted in India in 2023.

It is pertinent to write that Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who completed his first tenure with Ganguly as BCCI secretary, will continue in his role for the second term.
