BCCI’s new secretary Devajit Saikia will face many challenges in his maiden term as the Indian cricket board’s secretary, reckons BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla. However, Shukla feels the former Assam wicketkeeper-batsman is capable of handling it all. Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia were elected as the BCCI secretary and treasurer respectively during the SGM on Sunday.

“Challenges are always there in the BCCI, but he [Saikia] is capable of handling those challenges. There should not be any problem,” Shukla said after BCCI’s Special General Meeting at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
