Rajeev Shukla to Step in as Interim BCCI President<\/strong><\/p>\n Rajeev Shukla is preparing to take on the role of interim President of the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) as the current President, Roger Binny, approaches the official age limit for the position. Shukla, who is currently the vice president of the cricket board, will serve in this role for three months while a new president is elected.<\/p>\n Roger Binny, a celebrated member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, will turn 70 on July 19, exceeding the age limit outlined in the BCCI’s rules.

He has a notable cricketing background, having played 27 Test matches and 72 ODIs for India, taking a total of 124 wickets.
