Modi files nomination for RCA polls, BCCI threatens suspension

JAIPUR: Despite being banned for life by the cricket Board, former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi today defiantly filed his nomination for the December 19 Rajasthan Cricket Association elections, prompting a livid BCCI to threaten suspension of RCA for letting him back.

Modi's nomination papers for the post of RCA President were filed by his lawyer Mehmood Abdi, who himself is aiming for the vice-President's post in the elections scheduled on Thursday.

Abdi was accompanied by Amin Pathan, the secretary of Kota District Cricket Association and a close confidante of Modi, to do the paperwork on the last day of nominations.

The scrutiny would be done tomorrow while December 18 is the date for withdrawals. The polling would be held on December 19 between 11 am to 2 pm.
