Dilip Vengsarkar's future as NCA member to be decided at next AGM
In the next Annual General Meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the future of Dilip Vengsarkar as a member of the National Cricket Academy committee will be decided. A BCCI official has informed that the board will soon be appointing a full-time special project director for NCA.

The BCCI is also leaving it on Justice Vikramajit Sen to deal with Gautam Gambhir's alleged conflict of interest if he happens to take up the role of a managing committee member in Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).
"Justice Sen will look into the matter as he is a High Court-appointed administrator," the official said.
