MCA to discuss proposal to name commentators' box

The Mumbai Cricket Association is likely to deliberate on the proposal received from a couple of its affiliated units to name the commentators' box at the Wankhede stadium after late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
"We have received a letter from one of our affiliated clubs asking us what had happened to the earlier proposal to name the commentators' box after Mr Bal Thackeray. It's not on the agenda of tomorrow's meeting but is likely to come up for discussion," a top MCA source told PTI today.
The earlier proposal had been sent by two other affiliated clubs of the MCA.

Wankhede has a number of stands named after former cricketers -- Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.
It has also the two main gates named after two former Test cricketers, Vinoo Mankad and Polly Umrigar.
An important item listed on the agenda is the reply sent by former MCA vice president Prof Ratnakar Shetty following a show cause notice sent to him by the committee after he had stated at the last AGM that tickets requested by MCA to its Gujarat counterpart for the T20 game between India and Pakistan held at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad in December 2012 could have been sold on the black market.

"The matter of his reply to the show cause he was sent earlier is listed as one of the items on the agenda of the meeting," the top MCA source informed.
The matter regarding the tickets for the T20 game was raised by Shetty, who is holding the post of General Manager (Game development) at the Cricket Board (BCCI), at the AGM of the MCA held last month.
