The BCCI Committee of Administrators's (CoA) aim to get the state associations fall in line received a setback yesterday after DN Chaudhari, the former state election commissioner of Maharashtra, whose consent was sort by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to be the electoral officer for their polls, refused to take up the job citing the contempt of a previous Supreme Court order.

In their communication with Chaudhari, the MCA provided extracts of the July 5, 2018 interim order of the Supreme Court that stated that no election shall be held as they were still in the process of finalising the draft constitution. The apex court's orders of August 9, 2018 and March 14, 2019 were also provided by MCA along with the minutes of their meeting held with the Amicus Curiae, CoA and MCA's ad-hoc committee on April 24.
