Me, as I was also in-charge of the ICA elections. So, in respect of that we said that looking at the vast numbers likely [of retired male and female first-class players], and the fact that it had not been attended before. Since many people would apply [for ICA membership] and they may not have their [playing] record, and may take the time to find them, we thought a little more time would be appropriate, otherwise it may not really be possible to do it in a short time. But the Committee of Administrators (CoA) had a different argument, which was quite valid. They felt that instead of going into November we should complete it in good time so that two ICA representatives to the BCCI [Apex Council] can be selected and can attend the first meeting of the newly constituted BCCI. That meant that instead of going up to November for these elections we had to do this election much faster, do it by October 10 or 12, so that the newly elected office-bearers of the ICA can meet once and select their representatives to the BCCI. So, we hurried things. Although I can say that it was a well conducted online election, the point is that 1,208 players could register because the time was very short. Almost 80 per cent of them voted, which meant that the message had gone home that a new set-up is being created for [retired] players and that they should take charge of their own affairs. So that’s the reason why the enthusiasm and participation was very high -- almost 80 to 85 per cent participation voted out of 1,208 registered players. Personally, I feel that another 500-600 people couldn’t register. Time was short and they couldn’t find their records. Suppose you played so many Ranji Trophy matches you needed to provide some proof; you just couldn’t make a claim. The membership is now open and the ICA will take care of registering members who have been left out. To that extent, the hurrying up had a negative side. But the positive outcome is overwhelming. It was not very satisfactory, but I think by and large the thing that needs to be done further is that the Lodha Committee reforms must be carried on in their spirit, right to the states and below [district level], something that the new body will look into.
