Pawar to be new Mumbai Cricket Association chief

October 17, 2013 12:57

NCP chief Sharad Pawar will be elected unopposed as the president of the powerful Mumbai Cricket Association, current MCA President Ravi Sawant informed media personnel on Thursday.

Earlier, the application of BJP leader Gopinath Munde, who was a contender for the post, had been rejected on the ground that he was not a resident of Mumbai.

Pawar's return to the role of cricket boss spells bad news for BCCI chief N Srinivasan, who has faced several allegations in connection to spot-fixing in IPL matches.
