The post is rotated zone-wise across India and a person can hold the post of BCCI president for a maximum of three years. Supreme court of India said that the most senior BCCI vice-president and the joint secretary would take over the interim roles of president and secretary respectively. In April 2016, Rahul Johri was appointed first ever Chief Executive Officer of BCCI.
