Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is set to step into the cricket administration arena in a bigger role, as the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) has nominated him as its official representative for the upcoming BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for September 28.
This AGM holds particular significance as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to conduct fresh elections for its top posts, including President, Vice-President, Secretary, Joint Secretary, and
Treasurer. Additionally, elections will also be held for one Apex Council member and two positions on the IPL Governing Council.
Harbhajan’s nomination marks his official debut at the national cricket governance level, although he previously served as an advisor to the PCA. A Rajya Sabha MP affiliated with the Aam Aadmi Party, the veteran spinner brings with him immense cricketing experience, having claimed 417 wickets in 103 Tests and being part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad.
