MUMBAI: Amol Kale, who was the vice-president in the last Apex Council, and is a childhood friend of Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, will take on India’s 1983 World Cup hero Sandeep Patil for the coveted president’s post in the elections of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on October 20.
Kale’s candidature for the president’s post from the Sharad Pawar-Ashish Shelar Group was finalised on Friday-the last day of withdrawing nominations, after both Shelar, who is set to take up the treasurer’s post in the BCCI, and Sanjay Naik (was the secretary during the last term), withdrew their nominations on the day. Naik, in fact, withdrew his nomination from all the posts.
