Reports | DDCA members write to CoA requesting re-election

With less than 20 days left for the all-important BCCI election, in a stunning revelation, the members of DDCA have reportedly written to the CoA for re-election at the association in line with the August 9, 2018 order of the Supreme Court. As per a report by IANS, who accessed some e-mails, the members are unhappy with the fact that the elections were held without taking into account BCCI's new constitution and hence are demanding for re-election under the new constitution.

"The DDCA had no provision of Apex council. There was no provision for representative of men and women cricket association. There was no single director for the apex council. The executive was formed with 16 Directors instead of 9 Directors as mentioned in BCCI new constitution. Cooling off period was also not as per BCCI new constitution which had barred several deserving members from contesting," the member said.

"Please issue the direction to the DDCA to appoint an election officer and hold new full body elections under due process of Supreme Court approved new constitution with immediate effect in Extra Ordinary General Meeting," the member said.
