Ashish Shelar could be in for another innings as president of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). The BJP’s city chief was recently nominated as MCA’s representative for the BCCI Annual General Meeting to be held on October 18. Shelar was tipped to get an office-bearer’s post in the BCCI, but with him showing interest in the MCA top post, his foray into the BCCI may not happen this time.

In 2015, Shelar was first elected MCA vice-president on June 17 for a two-year term. In the next term, he took over as president on January 12, 2017. Under Shelar’s leadership, the MCA successfully launched the T20 Mumbai League. A text message to Shelar went unanswered.
