Arun Singh Dhumal and Abhishek Dalmiya are expected to continue as members of the IPL Governing Council (GC). The election of two representatives to the GC is a decision made every year at the BCCI's Annual General Meeting (AGM).

"Election and induction of 2 (two) representatives of the General Body in the Governing Council of the IPL," item B of the Agenda states. And as per the constitutional requirement, the two have recently filed nominations for the positions and at the AGM, scheduled for Sunday (September 29) in Bengaluru, the two will be elected unopposed. There have been no other nominations against them.

The current arrangement means Dhumal will continue as the chairman of the IPL for at least another year, a seminal season for the league with the mega auction on the horizon. Later on Saturday evening, the IPL Governing Council will address this matter, along with other key issues such as player retention and the salary cap.

The third item on the AGM agenda (Item C) also pertains to the IPL GC, requiring the AGM to induct a representative from the Indian Cricketers' Association (ICA). Here too, the status quo will be maintained, as the ICA has renominated V Chamundeswaranath, a former Andhra and South Zone cricketer, for the position. This decision was confirmed by ICA Secretary Hitesh Muzumdar.

Apart from this, the only other point of interest for the AGM will be the appointment of the BCCI representative to the ICC. Item Q of the Agenda states, "To appoint the BCCI's Representative or Representatives on the International Cricket Council (ICC) and or similar organisation."

Currently, Jay Shah serves as the BCCI representative to the world body, but this will change as he is set to become the Independent Chairman of the ICC. This shift will require the BCCI to appoint a new candidate. The AGM may select two representatives, with the second one stepping in once Shah assumes his new position in Dubai.

While electing a successor to Jay Shah as the new board secretary is an important matter before the BCCI, it is not on the current agenda. The BCCI will need to convene a Special General Meeting (SGM) once Shah steps down, likely by the end of November. The BCCI will have 45 days to elect a new secretary, meaning the office-bearer is expected to be chosen around January 15. Shah, meanwhile, will take over the ICC on December 1.
