Rohan Gaitley, the president of the Delhi and Cracite Association in Delhi (DDCA), is widely considered the candidate who takes the role of the joint secretary between BCCI, according to IANS.

The position of joint secretary at BCCI was vacant since Divajit Sikia’s upgrade to the Secretary in December 2024, after the election of Jay Shah, President of the International Criminal Court.

The council officially informed all the state’s associations on the upcoming elections, as the only agenda was the appointment of the new joint secretary. A notification was sent to the private public meeting, to be held at 12:00 pm on March 1 at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

“A notice was submitted by this for a special public meeting for BCCI, which will be held at 12:00 pm on March 1, at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, to treat election work and incite them to the joint secretary of BCCI,” the Apix Council said in a statement.

The next public meeting will be the second in less than two months. The former SGM, which was held on January 12, witnessed Devajit Saikia as an election as a trustee and Brabetig Singhia as a box secretary, both without opposition.

Sikia had earlier evacuated the role of the joint secretary after his promotion to a secretary after the departure of Jay Shah. BCCI adhered to 21 days mandatory notification to hold this meeting.

Rohan Gaitley appears as the strongest competitor to the role of the joint secretary at BCCI

If elected, the appointment of Jaitley will enhance his position in Indian crochet management. The role of the joint secretary includes the main administrative tasks management and work closely with other members of the Board of Directors to ensure smooth operations.
