Each of the 30 affiliates votes for electing the President at the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the position assumes immense significance as the Indian board is by far the richest in the cricketing world. The outgoing President also votes as the chairman of the meeting. The post is rotated zone-wise across the country. An elected President can hold the office of the BCCI President for a maximum tenure of three years.
