A power tussle within the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) has emerged, with former secretary Vinod Tihara calling for the removal of current secretary Ashok Sharma. Tihara claims that Sharma has surpassed the mandated nine-year office tenure outlined in the BCCI constitution crafted by the Lodha Committee.
In a staunch rebuttal, Sharma dismissed Tihara's assertions, pointing out technical inaccuracies and clarifying that the BCCI guidelines allow individuals to serve up to 18 cumulative years, with a three-year cooling-off period after six consecutive years. Sharma's tenure, according to him, is incorrectly calculated by Tihara.
The contention has arisen following a complaint from DDCA voter member Praveen Arora. Tihara, defending his stance, highlights previous cases involving cricket administrators to strengthen his plea for immediate action from the DDCA's Apex Council.
