Race Heats Up: Mumbai Cricket Association to Elect New President on July 23

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will elect a new president on July 23 following the sudden demise of Amol Kale. Members and former international players can submit nominations between June 25 and July 2. Voting will occur on July 23, with the results announced the same day.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has scheduled an election for a new president on July 23, following the unexpected passing of its incumbent president, Amol Kale. Kale, aged 47, succumbed to a cardiac arrest while in New York, just after attending the high-stakes T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan on the night of June 9-10. Known for defeating former cricketer Sandeep Patil in October 2022, Kale's sudden demise has left a critical vacancy in the powerful association.

On Monday, the MCA released an election program, urging 'member clubs and former international players' to submit their representatives' names between June 25 and July 2. Nominations can be officially filed from July 4 to 10, with scrutiny set for July 11, necessitating the presence of both the proposed and seconded candidates. Any withdrawals must be made by July 16, with the final list of candidates to be announced the same day.

Voting is slated for July 23, with results being made public later that day. The election process will be meticulously overseen by former deputy commissioner of the Maharashtra State Election Commission, Avinash Tukaram Sanas, appointed to assist the electoral officer in this crucial exercise.
