<p>After Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole indicated his intention to contest the Mumbai Cricket Association&rsquo;s (MCA) election for the president post, BJP leader MLA Prasad Lad will join the race too.</p>
<p>The election for the top post is scheduled for July 23 following the demise of Amol Kale on June 10.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Since 2001, I have been a member [of MCA] as I have my own Baronet Cricket Club.</p>

<p>&ldquo;My main agenda is administrative development and carry forward what Amol Kale did. I also want to encourage clubs which are playing in Division &lsquo;B&rsquo; and &lsquo;C&rsquo;. As Devendraji [Fadnavis] said during the Indian team&rsquo;s recent felicitation, we need a new stadium of one lakh capacity. I raised this a couple of years ago. I wanted to build this new stadium at Wadala Truck Terminal where the government has a place. This will be my priority,&rdquo; Lad told mid-day from Nagpur on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When asked whether he has spoken to BJP leaders&mdash;deputy chief minister Fadnavis and MLA Ashish Shelar, who is also the BCCI treasurer, Lad said: &ldquo;I need his [Fadnavis] and Ashishji&rsquo;s support. But 100 per cent I will file my nomination&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Current MCA secretary Ajinkya Naik has also made up his mind to contest for the presidential post. &nbsp;It is also learnt that current MCA vice-president Sanjay Naik and apex council member Milind Narvekar are also looking to become the MCA president. &nbsp;July 10 is the last day to file nominations, while July 16 is the last day to withdraw nominations for the July 23 election.</p><p>
