Shetty to attend MCA AGM tomorrow

The Cricket Board's General Manager (game development) Ratnakar Shetty said he will be attending tommorow's AGM and will question the Association on various issues.
The annual general meeting will preceed the biennial MCA election, to be held tomorrow.
MCA's long-time administrator Shetty, however, has been debarred from contesting the polls as he's a paid employee of MCA's parent body BCCI.
"As far as I am concerned, I am not eligible to contest and vote but I am eligible to attend the AGM tomorrow. We have put up a panel to contest in this election. The AGM is important because there are several important issues that will be highlighted," Shetty told reporters here.

Shetty was banned for five years by the Mumbai Cricket Association for alleging that some MCA office bearers could had sold tickets for an India-Pakistan T20 international at Ahmedabad last year in the black market, in the last AGM. He however, got a stay on the ban recently.
He said the AGM is a platform to voice concerns and the members should be allowed to do that.

He said that the Association had incurred huge expenses on account of the court cases it had against its own members.
"The issue of expenses that the association has incurred on court cases against its own members in the last four months due to ego and personal vendetta. There was a time when the indoor academy did not function for almost one year, because enough funds was not available. Today, we are spending Rs 50-60 lakh on court cases," he said.

Shetty said his group will raise the issue of the revision of format to play matches on weekdays, which is affecting the office clubs.
