With the Special General Meeting (SGM) scheduled for March 1, 2025, at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, the election for this important role is set to take place, marking a significant shift in Indian cricket administration.

Jaitley to Replace Devajit Saikia as BCCI Joint Secretary

The position of BCCI Joint Secretary has been vacant since Devajit Saikia was promoted to the post of Secretary in December 2024 following Jay Shah’s election as ICC Chairman. As per BCCI’s regulations, the vacant role must be filled within 45 days, prompting the organization to organize this Special General Meeting (SGM) to elect the new Joint Secretary.

In an official statement, the BCCI confirmed the meeting details, mentioning that the election of the new Joint Secretary will be the only agenda for the March 1 meeting. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM IST at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

Strong Competition, But Jaitley Leads the Race

While Rohan Jaitley faces competition from seasoned cricket administrators like Abhishek Dalmiya (former president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB)) and Sanjay Naik (official with the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA)), he remains the leading contender for the role. Jaitley’s extensive experience in cricket administration, coupled with his growing influence within the BCCI, makes him the most likely candidate for the position.

Jaitley’s Background and Growing Influence in Indian Cricket

As the DDCA president, Jaitley has built a strong reputation as a capable administrator and has been instrumental in organizing and overseeing various cricketing activities in the national capital. His strategic vision and leadership within the DDCA have made him a respected figure in Indian cricket governance, strengthening his candidacy for the coveted role of BCCI Joint Secretary.

If Jaitley is elected, he will take on a pivotal role in managing key administrative functions within the BCCI. The Joint Secretary’s responsibilities include overseeing operations, coordinating with state associations, and working closely with other BCCI officials to ensure the smooth conduct of domestic and international cricket events.

Why This Election Matters for Indian Cricket

The election of the BCCI Joint Secretary is particularly important as the BCCI prepares for major international tournaments, including the Champions Trophy 2025 and the IPL 2025. The BCCI is also looking to introduce reforms in the domestic structure and streamline its operations, making the role of the Joint Secretary crucial in shaping the future of Indian cricket.

This election marks an exciting period for the BCCI as it seeks to maintain its standing as one of the most powerful cricket boards in the world.

What’s Next for the BCCI Joint Secretary Election

The election on March 1 will be a critical moment for Rohan Jaitley and other candidates vying for the role.

Rohan Jaitley Set for Another Term as DDCA President After Strong Election Lead

Rohan Jaitley, the son of the late Arun Jaitley, is set to secure another term as the President of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), as the election results indicate a decisive lead in his favor.

The total votes cast in the election amounted to 2,463, signaling a strong mandate for the incumbent president.

A Strong Victory for Rohan Jaitley as DDCA President

Rohan Jaitley, currently serving as DDCA President, has now positioned himself to continue leading the association after a comprehensive victory over former cricketer and Trinamool Congress MP Kirti Azad. Jaitley was first appointed to the role of DDCA President in 2020, taking over the position unopposed, and was re-elected the following year after defeating advocate Vikas Singh by a significant margin. Now, with the looming election results, Jaitley is on track to win another term, further solidifying his leadership in Delhi cricket.

Vote Count Details: After counting the votes, Jaitley led with 1,239 votes, while Azad only garnered 610 votes.

Jaitley addressed the election's outcomes, suggesting that the voters had acknowledged the progress made under his leadership. “Right now, the members have seen what we have done over the last three years, and it seems like they are going to give us another opportunity to serve them,” said Jaitley. “Having selective criticism with only the intent of contesting elections doesn’t fly. Organisations don’t become good or bad within the preceding 30 days of an election,” he added.

Secretary Contest: Ashok Sharma emerged as the frontrunner for the role of secretary with 688 votes.

Jaitley's Vision: Jaitley reiterated that his administration’s achievements would speak for themselves and emphasized the continuity of their vision for the future of Delhi cricket.

As Rohan Jaitley is poised to be re-elected as DDCA President, his second consecutive term would bring continuity to the development of cricket in the capital, including focus on infrastructure, youth development, and transparent administration.
