DDCA president Rajat Sharma's resignation finally confirmed
The resignation of Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rajat Sharma has finally been confirmed as Ombudsman Justice (retd) Badar Durrez Ahmed accepted his request the second time. Vice president Rakesh Kumar Bansal is expected to take charge of the board for the time being.
Having first been appointed to his role in July 2018, beating former India cricket Madan Lal to the post, Sharma and his team even managed to win all the 12 seats in the DDCA election. However, with his resignation, followed soon after by CEO Ravi Chopra's resignation, the DDCA is in a bit of jeopardy.
“At 1 p.m. today, I received a letter dated November 29 from Rajat Sharma indicating that he had resigned on 16th November for reasons stated in that letter. He further stated that he continued as President in terms of direction given in the order. Letter further states that the situation in DDCA is bad and found it impossible to continue any further.
"Accordingly, he requested he may be relieved as President with immediate effect. It is clear that Rajat Sharma has expressed his desire not to continue as President of DDCA. This entire controversy surrounding his resignation does not survive anymore,” the Order of the Ombudsman read, reported IANS.
Meanwhile, a DDCA functionary confirmed the development and added that even the Cricket Advisory Committee will be re-appointed, while the BCCI representative also to be selected.
“Yes, Sharma has tendered his resignation and it has been accepted by the Ombudsman and even the CEO has resigned. The CAC will also be re-appointed. The Vice President will take charge at present. We will have to sit down and decide on the same because Sharma was earlier the DDCA representative at the BCCI,” the functionary said.
