Roger Binny, who was a member of the legendary 1983 World Cup-winning team, replaced former India captain Sourav Ganguly as the new BCCI president.

Mr. Binny on Tuesday said that he wants to primarily focus on the prevention of injuries to the players. 

‘As the BCCI president, I want to primarily focus on two things. First is the prevention of injuries to the players. Jasprit Bumrah got injured just before the World Cup, which affected the whole plan. Second, I want to focus on the pitches in the country,’ he told news agency ANI.
