Factional quarreling within the Goa Cricket Association (GCA) has left in limbo the aspirations of its former secretary Rohan Gauns Desai to continue as joint secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Gauns Desai was billed to be re-elected joint secretary of the powerful BCCI a position he was elevated to in March this year.
Sources in the GCA said the committee met at the GCA office in Porvorim, where five of the eight members proposed that Gauns Desai be nominated to represent the Association at the BCCI AGM.
However, current GCA president V Phadke and two others, including secretary Shamba Desai, questioned the legality of the proposal citing bye-laws and eligibility criteria set by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) of the BCCI, the sources said.
The Secretary is said to have proposed to nominate Phadke, the current president of the GCA but the committee adjourned the meeting without taking a firm decision.
The deadline to forward the name of the representative of GCA for the BCCI meet on September 28 ended on Friday.
The September 28 AGM is slated to hold an election for five posts which fell vacant following the resignation of BCCI president Roger Binny on attaining the age of 75.
