Colvin Shield: Open selection trials in Pali, Bikaner & Jodhpur

1 2 Jaipur: Dispelling concerns that ongoing disputes might derail team selections for Pali, Bikaner and Jodhpur districts, Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convener and BJP MLA Jaideep Bihani has announced open selection trials for the Colvin Shield, scheduled to begin from June 7. The RCA's ad hoc panel has been grappling with controversies surrounding the Pali, Bikaner and Jodhpur district cricket associations (DCA). Following complaints of alleged irregularities, committee convener Bihani revoked the recognition of the Pali and Bikaner DCAs. Additionally, the Jodhpur DCA's elections have not yet received the convener's approval. Bihani has formed a panel to oversee the team selection process for the three districts, ensuring the tournament remains on track. "Open selection trials for these three teams will be held at the district centres in the presence of the RCA supervisor and the team will be picked by the selectors authorised by the RCA," said ad hoc member Vimal Sharma from Bihani coterie. To participate in the selection trials, players are required to bring the following original documents with them: computer generated birth certificate, bonafide certificate, marksheet of last three years and aadhar card/voter ID/driving license/passport. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Encontre voos low-cost Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo Dharamveer criticises Bihani for sidelining 4 ad hoc panel members: Ad hoc panel member and Pali DCA secretary Dharamveer Singh Shekhawat defended the decision to hold the tournament, stating, "There's nothing wrong with conducting the Colvin Shield, and we support it fully." However, he sharply criticised Jaideep Bihani for marginalising committee members. "In this entire process, Bihani has sidelined four out of six ad hoc committee members, showing disregard for the registrar and the Sports Act, and acting against the constitution. Furthermore, no proper norms were followed in appointing the three selection committees. All four of us - Dhananjai Singh Khimsar, myself, Ratan Singh Shekhawat, and Harish Chandra Singh - have formally raised these concerns in letters to the state chief minister, registrar, state sports minister, and sports secretary," asserted Dharamveer, representing the Dhananjai group.
