BCA chief requests CoA to stop disqualified committee from running state association
Bihar Cricket Association president Jagnnath Singh has stated that the disqualified committee is still calling the shots for all matters related to the BCCI. Jagnnath has once again requested the CoA to intervene as otherwise, the careers of young cricketers from state would be affected.
Although legally, the committee led by Gopal Bohra and Rabi Shankar Prasad Singh have been disqualified to take the decision, related to Bihar Cricket Association, it has emerged that the committee is still very much active in the daily proceedings, with BCCI GM Saba Karim making the u-19 players selected by the Bohra-led committee as legal. That triggered a reaction from Association president Jagnnath Singh, who in a letter addressed to the Committee of Administrators (CoA), wrote that the disqualified committee are still calling the shots for all matters related to the BCCI.
“I have had no occasion in my life seen such situations which are being allowed by the BCCI to conduct its event by a completely disqualified committee led by Bohra and Singh. On one hand, the BCCI, in the name of taking decision, is delaying the matter though it has declared two conflicting factions of BCA, one led by me and the other by Bohra and Singh, self-styled constituted committee," Jagnnath said, as reported by IANS.
“For reasons best known to the CoA, such a disqualified committee led by Bohra and Singh is being allowed to conduct the events of the BCCI, in the name of BCCI, which has been protested by me by email and telephonic conversations. The BCCI is religiously maintaining silence for reasons not known to others."
The BCA chief has also pulled up Karim for interfering in the process of the AVP (age verification programme) Medical Examination of the players selected for the U-16 age group by the committee of BCA led by the president. Sending a different legal notice to Karim, Singh slammed the double standard and not adhering to the CoA protocol.
"You intervened in the matter and forbid Salvi from doing the AVP Medical Examination of the players selected for the U-16 age group by the committee of BCA led by me. As soon as the test of the players of the Bohra-led committee was over, you asked Salvi not to conduct medical test of the team of the players of under-16 age group, 57 in numbers telephonically.
"With the situation at the clinic griming, I was apprehensive of any un-toward incident taking place and contacted you on telephone, you again did not pick my call and I sent you a message. The facts stated clearly demonstrate that you are bent on disobeying the emails/orders of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) appointed by the Supreme Court," he wrote in the notice.
