MUMBAI: The race for the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) secretary post, scheduled for Sep 3, has become more intriguing. TOI has learned that MCA apex council member Suraj Samat's candidature for the post has been proposed by none other than cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. This marks the first time that Tendulkar has proposed a candidate in the MCA elections.
Samat, whose nomination has been seconded by the late MCA president Amol Kale's wife, Minal, will now face fellow apex council member Abhay Hadap in the upcoming election. Candidates can file their nominations for the post between August 21-26.
