Sharad Pawar, Mumbai Cricket Association president will not be attending the Board of Control in India Special General Meeting on May 22. It is known that he will not be in the country. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is to be represented by its joint secretary, P V Shetty, at the Special General Meeting to elect the new BCCI president after the resignation of Shashank Manohar from that post last week.
MCA would normally have been represented by its president, Sharad Pawar, but he will not be available to attend the BCCI AGM as he’s scheduled to travel overseas during that period. “Mr. Pawar is going abroad and MCA will be represented by Dr. Shetty at the SGM,” said MCA sources after its managing committee meeting on Tuesday.
The MCA has also decided to ask all its managing committee members to declare any conflict of interest issues they might have. “The president joint secretaries etcetera have already done so. Now every other member, selector, coach and others will have to do this,” said MCA’s joint secretary, Unmesh Khanvilkar.
Among the candidates suited for the job, the names of Ajay Shirke, Maharashtra Cricket Association president, and Brijesh Patel, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) secretary are being considered favourites in that order right now.
