Rajeev Shukla likely to replace Roger Binny as BCCI President
With the incumbent Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, Roger Binny, set to turn 70 next month, Rajeev Shukla is likely to take over as the interim chief for a period of three months. According to the BCCI constitution, an office-bearer cannot hold a position beyond the age of 70, which makes Binny, a member of India's 1983 World Cup-winning team, ineligible for the role after July 19. Shukla, who is currently the vice-president of the Board and the senior-most office-bearer in the present regime, will oversee the president's duties until a new chief is elected. Shukla has held the position of BCCI vice-president since late 2020. He also served as the secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association until 2017 and was the chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL) until 2018.

Maxwell's decision to retire stems from his desire to concentrate on preparations for next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, the domestic Big Bash League, and other international commitments. He admitted that he could no longer maintain peak performance in the ODI format. 'I felt like I was letting the team down a bit with how my body was reacting to the conditions. I had a good chat with George Bailey, the Chair of Selectors, and asked for his thoughts on the future," Maxwell stated on the Final Word Podcast. 'We discussed the 2027 World Cup, and I told him, 'I don't think I am going to make it. It's time to start planning for others to take my place and make it their own.' 'Hopefully, they get enough time to secure that role. I always said I wouldn't give up my position if I felt I was still good enough to play. I didn't want to hold on for a few more series for selfish reasons. The team is moving in a clear direction, so this gives them the best chance to plan for the next World Cup. I understand how crucial that planning is."

Trump tariff hike threatens to impact $5 billion engineering goods exports: EEPC India
New Delhi: The proposed 50% tariff on all foreign steel and aluminium by US President Donald Trump could hurt India's engineering exports, as these metals and their derivatives account for nearly a quarter of the country's total engineering goods shipments to the US. The annual export of steel, aluminium and their derivatives to the US currently stand at around $5 billion. The 25% tariffs imposed by the US on steel imports (as per the proclamation order dated on 18th March 2025) have created a challenging environment for Indian steel exporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Although India's direct steel exports to the US are relatively low, the tariffs have led to increased global competition and price pressures. The tariffs have also resulted in a shift in trade flows. 'In case the US goes ahead with its plan and impose a 50% tariff on steel, aluminium and their derivatives, exports of these key items will become costlier leading to a likely dip in shipments," said Pankaj Chadha, Chairman, EEPC India, in a statement. Live Events Chadha highlighted that the UK through its trade deal with the US recently got exemptions from 25% tariff on steel and aluminium and suggested that India should also ask for the same kind of waiver during the ongoing bilateral trade agreement (BTA) negotiations with the US. "This is perhaps not the opportune time to introduce such unilateral tariff especially when BTA negotiations are going on. It can make the work of the negotiators tricky. The proposed tariff increase by the Trump administration is likely to impact the engineering exports which are about $5 billion under this head," the EEPC India Chairman said.
