Pravin Amre resigns from MCA

Mumbai : Former India player Pravin Amre has tendered his resignation from the managing committee of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) after being appointed as the Head of Talent Hunt for IPL franchise Delhi Daredevils.

 Amre has penned a letter to MCA President Ashish Shelar yesterday informing him about the resignation.

“It is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation from the managing committee of the MCA with immediate effect.

I had to take this big step in keeping with the high standards that our august cricket body has set over the years,” 49-year-old Amre said in the letter.

“I have just been appointed the Head of Talent for Delhi Daredevils and it was only in fitness of things that I stand down from the MCA,” he said.

“This, I believe is the ideal way to avoid being considered a fit case for conflict of interest as per the guidelines of the Justice Lodha panel recommendations. We, as administrators, have always set lofty standards for others to follow and I am only trying to follow that path,” he said.
