DDCA nominates president Rajat Sharma as its representative at BCCI AGM

The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Thursday nominated president Rajat Sharma as its sole representative for the BCCI AGM scheduled on October 23.

In a resolution passed by the DDCA Apex Council, 11 out of the 15 members, have fully backed senior journalist Sharma's name as their sole representative at the BCCI meetings, including its AGM, and take part (as voter member) in the board's elections as and when held.

The resolution forwarded to the BCCI electoral officer and CoA stated: "We, the members of Apex Council of the DDCA, hereby convey our complete and unequivocal trust in the leadership of Mr. Rajat Sharma, President, DDCA. We also declare and affirm his nomination as DDCA Representative on the BCCI, including for inclusion of his name in the electoral roll for the forthcoming BCCI elections."
"Our formal resolution so nominating him under Article 18(4)(q) of the Articles of Association of the DDCA has been separately sent to you along with the prescribed Representative Nomination Form."
"It's unfortunate that some people started a negative campaign with their own vested interests in mind, thus tarnishing DDCA's image."
"We, the undersigned, wish to assert that this action of Vinod Tihara is in utter defiance of the decision of the Apex Council of which he had full knowledge, and is in breach of the Articles of Association of the DDCA, both amounting to serious misconduct."
