A major twist has emerged in the Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) election process. The High Court has received an affidavit concerning the conduct of the polls, with former cricketer Lalitendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra urging that the election be held strictly in accordance with BCCI guidelines.
The development comes amid reports of a possible change in the association’s leadership, adding fresh intrigue to the ongoing administrative tussle. The case, filed over delays in the OCA office-bearer election, has drawn attention from the cricket fraternity and legal observers alike.
The next hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, when the court is expected to review the affidavit and decide on further proceedings. The outcome could reshape the future leadership of Odisha cricket, with implications for governance and transparency in sports administration.
