ACA candidates declared 'elected unopposed'

In HCA, the fight is between two panels; one led by former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin and the other led by Prakash Chand Jain.

In Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), the battle lines are drawn after the last date of withdrawal of nominations ended on Monday.

 

P. Sarath Chandra Reddy and V. Durga Prasad have been elected as president and secretary respectively of the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA).

Bhanwar Lal — electoral officer of ACA elections — said, “Only six nominations were filed — one for each post, and all are found to be valid and time was given up to 3 pm today for withdrawal but since no one opted for this all the candidates were declared elected unopposed.”

A fresh body is expected to take charge on September 27.

Besides the six members, the apex council of ACA will comprise two former Andhra first-class players (one male and one female) to be nominated by the BCCI and one senior officer from Auditor General Office to be nominated by the Auditor General of Andhra Pradesh.
