With the state witnessing lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is not possible to conduct the the AGM for now. “The Apex Council would like to obtain your consent through this letter to authorize the Apex Council to appoint an adhoc cricket improvement committee until the AGM,” the circular stated.

“The Apex Council would like to request you to send your consent in writing on e-mail on or before 10th July 2020 in order to appoint such an ad-hoc committee,” the cricket body said.

It made it clear that incase the clubs fail to give any reply, then they would presume that their consent is given. MCA has 300 plus members, which includes the cricket clubs.
