i know it! i will give you a brief history! he is sharad pawar.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, is the apex governing body for cricket in India and lays down its law. The board was formed in 1929. It is a society, registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. It enjoys a monopoly status as regards regulation of cricket under the terms of its Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. The BCCI, inter alia, enjoys tax exemption and other benefits such as the right to use any stadium across the country at a nominal annual rent.
As a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), it represents the country in international fora. It has the authority to select players, umpires and officials to represent the country in international events and exercises total control over them. Without its recognition, no competitive cricket involving Indian players can be hosted within or outside the country.
The BCCI's membership generally includes the State cricket associations, though some states have more than one association. Maharashtra state, for instance, has Maharashtra cricket association, Mumbai Cricket Association and Vidarbha cricket association and Gujarat state has Gujarat cricket association, Baroda cricket association and Saurashtra cricket association. Railways and Services are also members.
It is India's richest sporting body and one of the richest sports team or body in the whole world. The BCCI's constitution provides for annual elections at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for all posts, with a bar on re-election of an incumbent president beyond two consecutive years, "provided that the General Body may in its discretion re-elect the same person as president for the third consecutive year". The President of BCCI is Sharad Pawar (elected 29 November, 2005). Niranjan Shah is the secretary.
All the office-bearers for the year 2004-05, were elected at the annual general meeting of the Board held in Kolkata.
On January 10, 2005, the Supreme Court of India ordered the removal of Jagmohan Dalmiya from the post of patron-in-chief of BCCI and also asked the board to complete its annual general meeting (AGM) which had been adjourned on September 30, 2004.
The legality of the office-bearer's election at the board's annual general meeting (AGM) held on September 29, 2004 is subjudice.
In recent times the BCCI has been at odds with the ICC on Future Tours Program, it has formed unilateral arrangements to allow more series between India and Australia, England and Pakistan. This, however, has left out 'minnows' such as Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
In recent times, one has started to expect BCCI to handle scandals professionally. After the drubbing India has got in South Africa, everybody has called for Greg Chappell’s sacking, but BCCI has maintained a cool head as is evident in this story - Power to Chappel, says BCCI Chief

[edit] Revenues and finances of BCCI
BCCI is among the richest sporting organistions in the world.The immense popularity of the game in India as well as the continuous growth of the Indian economy have armed BCCI with some of the most lucrative TV and sponsorship contracts in world sports. The global media rights for international cricket to be held in India between March 2006 and March 2010 were awarded to production house Nimbus for a mind-boggling sum of US$612 Million.The rights to being the official kit sponsor for the duration of 5 years(1st January 2006 to 31st December,2010) were awarded to Nike for US$43 Million.While Air Sahara earned the privilege of being the official Indian cricket team sponsor for a period of 4 years by shelling out US$70 Million.The media rights for 25 neutral venue one-day matches to be played over the next 5 years were awarded to Zee Telefilms for US$219.15 Million.Business Standard reports that it will get another Rs 2,000 crore ($450 million) from the sale of other rights, including hotel, travel and ground sponsorship. BCCI also has firm plans to establish an inter-city cricket league in limited overs and Twenty20 format. It will be structured along the lines of professional US leagues such as NFL,MLB and NBA. The league will recruit overseas cricketers and will have separate TV,internet,mobile,merchandising,sponsorship and ground signange rights.
