In a move that will help many former players, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has revived the pension scheme for all former cricketers who have played less than 25 matches and do not get assistance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Siddharth has entered the electoral field to take the association to the optimum levels of excellence so that both the game and players avail the best that would be offered.
In Rajasthan, when the BCCI decided to crack the whip to push Lalit Modi into the margin, it was under a certain kind of compulsion.
The DDCA is already without a president since senior journalist Rajat Sharma resigned while general secretary Vinod Tihara is in a Meerut jail for alleged violation of the Customs Act.
As of now, India has reported around 250 positive cases of coronavirus with 4 deaths.
Arun Jaitley, who had passed away on August 24 last year after a prolonged illness, had also served Indian cricket as BCCI Vice-President.
"The previous league committee has been dismantled and shall cease to have any authority," said the DDCA in a circular.
A DDCA release stated that all the members unanimously "passed all the resolutions and agendas" but sources in the controversy-plagued cricket body informed that the AGM had its share of drama.
While Sharma did not respond to messages, a DDCA functionary confirmed the development and said that even the Cricket Advisory Committee will be re-appointed.
It is worth highlighting that Sharma had entered cricket administration after he received support and backing of former Finance minister Arun Jaitley.
