CoA grants extensions to Odisha, Bihar, and Uttarakhand to submit registered constitution
The CoA has allowed extensions to the cricket associations of Odisha, Bihar and Uttarakhand to submit their registered Constitution to the BCCI. However, some officials in the know feel that the disqualified state and government departments should also have been allowed extra time.
The state units of Odisha, Bihar, and Uttarakhand have been allowed to attend the BCCI AGM in Mumbai on October 23. But, the three associations are to submit their registered Constitution to the BCCI by 5 PM on October 13.
“If these three can be given extra days, the CoA should have given the same to the cricket associations of Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Maharashtra. The CoA should have allowed the three Government departments to attend the AGM and take part in the election. UP should have been allowed a replacement,” an official was quoted saying by Sportstar.
"The CoA has not allowed the Manipur CA president who is an MLA, but what about Delhi which has in its Committee an MLA. The CoA should have done more work on Baroda and Madhya Pradesh,” said an official in the know of things,” the official said.
Besides the three non-compliant state associations, the Supreme Court-appointed CoA had also denied the three Government departments in Railways, Services and Universities permission to attend the AGM.
“It is indeed very surprising that SSCB, RSPB and AIU shall not be represented at the ensuing AGM of the BCCI. While restoring their full member status the Supreme Court had laid down certain conditions for the eligibility of their representative restricting it to one of their retired cricketers,” Prof. Ratnakar Shetty, former GM, Game Development of the BCCI, said.
“All the three bodies play an important role in the development and promotion of not only cricket but all other Olympic sports, for men and women. It will be a huge challenge for them to form a player association and then hold elections to choose one representative,” Prof. Shetty added.
