Pawar back as MCA President

The three panels - Bal Mahaddalkar group, Cricket First and Shetty's group - are headed by outgoing MCA chief Ravi Savant, incumbent Vice-President Vijay Patil and Cricket Board General Manager (Game Development) Ratnakar Shetty.

Savant and Patil are involved in a fight for bagging the two vice-President posts in a triangular contest also featuring Shetty's panel member Pankaj Thakur. Shetty, MCA's long-time administrator has, however, been debarred from contesting the polls as he is a paid employee of BCCI, the Association's parent body.

The treasurer's post would see a straight contest between Vinod Deshpande (Mahaddalkar group) and Mayank Khandwala(Cricket First).
     
There are four contestants for the two Joint Secretary posts - incumbents Nitin Dalal and P V Shetty (both from Mahaddalkar group), Unmesh Khanvilkar (Cricket First) and former Joint Secretary Pravin Barve (Shetty group). Pawar back at MCA; set for second innings as President
