For the first time ever the Delhi District and Cricket Association (DDCA) will go to the polls on June 30 without proxy votes. But proxies still exist and former members have fielded their friends and families as proxy members and a battle against them would be hard.
The cricket season is over in Delhi and the grounds are silent. But for the cricket officials, the games have just begun. In the middle are three high-flyers - the World Cup-winning former India and Delhicoach Madan Lal is vying for the President's post. Up against him is media baron Rajat Sharma, the owner of India TV and Vikas Singh, the Supreme Court Bar Association President. A total of 112 people are contesting for 12 posts. Objections have been raised against Madan Lal, filed by the opposition as he owns a cricket academy. But if he remains in the race, sources say that Rajat Sharma might withdraw. Most of the outgoing DDCA officials can't contest because of the Supreme Court mandated reforms, but the battle for other posts is being seen by many as a fight between their proxy candidates.
The BCCI acting president CK Khanna, who is a disqualified DDCA official, has fielded his wife Shashi Khanna for the vice-president's post.
Former India cricketer Chetan Chauhan, disqualified because of tenure, has his brother Pushpendra Chauhan contesting. There are 58 contestants who have the backing of friends and family.
