India's 1983 World Cup-winning team player and former national selector Roger Binny, 67, who was elected unopposed as BCCI’s 36th president during board’s Annual General Meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday, is well prepared with his plans and strategy to strengthen Indian cricket. The first goal for Bangalore-based Binny appears to be tackling player fitness.

While addressing the media for the first time as a BCCI chief, Binny remarked: “Players getting frequently injured is a concern and we wish to get to the bottom of it all and see how it can be changed for the better. We have excellent doctors and trainers at the National Cricket Academy [in Bangalore], but must look to reduce injuries and improve recovery [methods]” Binny said. When asked if India needs to have three teams for three different formats to manage the  workload, Binny said: “We will discuss that to avoid injuries.”
