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.
The two were present at the event where the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium was renamed after former union minister and DDCA president Arun Jaitley. Meanwhile, a special stand was dedicated to Kohli.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Weightlifting Auditorium of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
The committee headed by Wassan will have Anil Bharadwaj and Vineet Jain as the two other members for the 2019-20 season.
The renaming of the stadium is set to take place on 12 September in the same event in which one of the stands of the stadium will be named after Indian captain and Delhi lad Virat Kohli.
During his stint as the President of DDCA from 1999 to 2013, the DDCA saw the introduction of better facilities.
