The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will hold its 95th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at its headquarters in Mumbai on September 18, 2026. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 11:30 AM IST, is expected to address several important administrative and financial matters, including changes to the IPL Governing Council, the BCCI’s audited accounts, the annual budget and appointments to key cricket committees.

The date and venue were confirmed through a communication issued by the office of BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia to the state associations on Tuesday. The upcoming AGM will bring together representatives of the BCCI’s General Body to consider and approve a wide range of matters concerning Indian cricket’s administration.

According to the official notice, the 95th BCCI AGM will be held at the BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai and will transact business listed in the agenda circulated to the members.

BCCI AGM 2026: Major Decisions on the Agenda

One of the most significant items at the BCCI AGM will be the election and induction of two General Body representatives into the IPL Governing Council.

The AGM will also consider the induction of one representative of the Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA) into the IPL Governing Council. These appointments are important because the governing council plays a central role in overseeing the administration and functioning of the Indian Premier League.

The inclusion of these elections and appointments makes the September 18 meeting particularly significant for the future administration of the IPL.

The AGM will also consider the BCCI’s financial accounts for the 2025-26 financial year. Members will be presented with the audited Statement of Accounts, along with the Treasurer’s Report. The annual budget for the 2026-27 financial year will also be placed before the General Body for consideration and adoption.

Junior Cricket Committee Appointments

Another important issue expected to come before the BCCI AGM is the confirmation of appointments to the Junior Cricket Committee.

The BCCI has invited applications for five positions on the committee. Candidates have been given until September 5 to submit their applications. The selection process is expected to involve screening and shortlisting of candidates, followed by personal interviews.

The Junior Cricket Committee has an important role in the development and administration of India’s age-group cricket structure. Its appointments can therefore have a long-term impact on the country’s talent identification and development pathway.

The confirmation of the committee’s appointments at the AGM will be closely watched as the BCCI continues to focus on strengthening India’s cricketing pipeline.

BCCI Audited Accounts and Annual Budget

Financial matters form another major part of the 95th AGM agenda.

The BCCI will present its audited accounts for the financial year 2025-26, including schedules relating to tours undertaken during the period. The General Body will consider the Treasurer’s Report and the audited accounts before deciding on their adoption.

The annual budget for FY 2026-27 will also be presented at the meeting.

As one of the world’s most financially powerful cricket boards, the BCCI’s financial decisions are closely followed by the cricketing community. The annual budget provides an overview of the board’s expected expenditure and financial priorities for the coming year.

The AGM will also consider the appointment of auditors for FY 2026-27 and determine their remuneration.

Ombudsman and Ethics Officer Appointments

The appointment of the Ombudsman and Ethics Officer is also included in the AGM agenda.

These positions are important within the BCCI’s governance framework, particularly in relation to complaints, ethical standards, conflicts of interest and other matters requiring independent oversight.

The General Body will also consider the appointment of various Standing Committees, Cricket Committees and the Umpire Committee in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCCI’s Rules and Regulations.

These committees form an important part of the board’s administrative structure and contribute to the functioning of different areas of Indian cricket.

Reports From the Apex Council and IPL Governing Council

The AGM agenda also includes consideration of reports and recommendations from several key bodies within the BCCI.

Members will consider reports and recommendations from the Apex Council, the Chief Executive Officer and various committees. The General Body may also propose policy directions to the Apex Council based on these reports.

Similarly, the report and recommendations of the IPL Governing Council will be considered, with the General Body having the opportunity to propose policy directions for the governing council.

Reports from the Ombudsman and Ethics Officer will also be placed before the AGM, along with any recommendations arising from those reports.

This part of the agenda gives BCCI members an opportunity to review the functioning of the board’s various administrative bodies and provide directions for future policy.

BCCI Internal Committee Report

The report of the BCCI’s Internal Committee, constituted under its Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policy, is another item listed for consideration.

The inclusion of the report reflects the board’s broader governance and compliance responsibilities. The Internal Committee framework is intended to address complaints and ensure compliance with applicable workplace policies.

The AGM will provide an opportunity for the General Body to consider the committee’s report as part of the board’s annual administrative review.

Cricket Association Andaman & Nicobar Island

A notable item on the agenda is the proposal to grant Associate Membership to the Cricket Association Andaman & Nicobar Island for the Union Territory of Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

If approved, the move would further expand the BCCI’s administrative and cricketing network across India’s Union Territories.

The inclusion of the proposal highlights the board’s continuing efforts to bring cricket administration under a more structured framework across different parts of the country.

ICC Representation and International Cricket

The 95th AGM will also consider the appointment of the BCCI’s representative or representatives to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and/or any similar international organisation.

The BCCI is one of the most influential members of the global cricketing community, and its representation at international bodies is therefore an important administrative matter.

The General Body will have the opportunity to consider the relevant appointments as part of the AGM’s wider governance agenda.

Ratification of BCCI Rules

The AGM will also consider the ratification of rules framed by the Apex Council under Rule 15 of the BCCI’s Rules and Regulations.

Rule ratification is an important part of the board’s governance process, ensuring that regulations introduced through the appropriate administrative mechanisms receive the necessary approval.

Members will also be able to consider motions submitted by Full Members, provided the required notice is given to the BCCI secretary at least 21 days before the meeting.

The agenda further allows the President to include any business considered necessary, while other informal business may also be taken up with the permission of the Chairperson.

Why the BCCI AGM Is Important

The BCCI Annual General Meeting is one of the most important events in the board’s administrative calendar. While much of the attention surrounding Indian cricket focuses on players, teams and tournaments, decisions taken at the AGM can influence the governance and development of the sport at multiple levels.

The 2026 AGM is particularly significant because it combines important IPL appointments with financial approvals, committee appointments, governance matters and international representation.

The election of two General Body representatives to the IPL Governing Council will be closely monitored because of the IPL’s enormous commercial and sporting importance. The induction of an ICA representative will also add another dimension to the governing council’s composition.

At the same time, the approval of the BCCI’s annual budget and audited accounts will provide members with an opportunity to review the board’s financial position and priorities.

What to Expect From the September 18 Meeting

The BCCI’s 95th AGM is set to be a wide-ranging meeting covering the financial, administrative and governance aspects of Indian cricket.

The IPL Governing Council appointments are likely to attract significant attention, while the approval of the annual accounts and budget will provide insight into the board’s financial planning for the next year. The proposed Junior Cricket Committee appointments could also have significance for India’s future talent development.

With several committees, governance positions and international representation matters also on the agenda, the meeting will involve decisions extending well beyond the IPL.

For Indian cricket, the AGM represents an important opportunity for the BCCI’s General Body to review the previous year’s work, approve key financial and administrative decisions, and establish priorities for the year ahead.

The 95th BCCI AGM will therefore be closely watched by state associations, IPL stakeholders, former and current cricketers and the wider cricketing community. As the September 18 meeting approaches, the focus will increasingly turn towards the individuals who could take up the key positions and the decisions that could shape the BCCI’s administration in the 2026-27 season.
