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. TRIALS' DETAILS: Pali: Venue: Bangar Stadium; date: June 3 (7:00 AM); selectors: Zakir Hussain, Shailendra Gehlot; supervisor: Sushil Jain. Jodhpur: Venue: Barkatullah Khan Stadium; date: June 4 ( 7:00 AM ); selectors: Vilas Joshi, Zakir Hussain; supervisor: Vimal Sharma; coordinator: Chandrakant Bodha.

Bihani claims support of 18 DCAs, appoints ombudsman
1 2 Jaipur: The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convener and BJP MLA Jaideep Bihani has appointed retired Supreme Court Justice Deepak Verma as the ombudsman, 'in line with Lodha Committee recommendations'. This decision follows the 'approval' of 18 District Cricket Associations (DCA), who authorised Bihani to appoint the ombudsman, ethics officer and election officer, as well as take action against the Bikaner and Pali DCAs. On Thursday, Bihani issued orders to revoke the affiliation of the Pali and Bikaner DCAs due to alleged financial irregularities and election discrepancies. "The decision was made under Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 30 of the State Sports Act and Section 30C of the RCA Constitution. A decision on Jodhpur DCA is under consideration," said the convener in a press conference here at RCA Academy on Friday. Bihani announced that the RCA Annual General Meeting is scheduled for June 20. He also revealed that he has the consent of 18 DCA secretaries, who have authorised him to form various committees, including the cricket committee, standing committee, legal committee, finance committee and sub-committees, as well as appoint auditors and manage RCA bank account signatories. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Convener dismisses corruption allegations: Launching a sharp counter attack against ad hoc member Dhananjai Singh Khimsar's group, Bihani dismissed allegations of financial mismanagement, emphasising that all BCCI grants were transparently disbursed to players, match officials and vendors. "The Indian cricket board (BCCI) granted Rs 57.5 crore to the RCA over the past year, a testament to the committee's effective functioning. Would the BCCI provide grants if we weren't working?" he questioned while refuting corruption allegations against him. Bihani also criticised other members for calling frequent meetings to profit from travel allowance and dearness allowance claims, stating he has never claimed such benefits himself. Moreover, Colvin Shield will be held from June 7 and Bihani asserted that he will single-handedly organise the tournament if other ad hoc members do not cooperate.
