NEW DELHI: The Cricket Association of Puducherry (CAP) has been granted associate membership in the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) by the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).
Out of the three parties claiming to represent Puducherry in the BCCI, the CoA decided the matter in favour of CAP, says a PTI report. The BCCI, in its SGM earlier this month, had approved Puducherry’s associate membership.
“The CoA is of the view that there is no reason not to accept the recommendation of the Affiliation Committee and grant affiliation to the CAP. The submission made and documents submitted by the claimants do not disclose any reason, let alone compelling reasons, to reject the Affiliation Committee’s recommendation which has been made after two visits to Puducherry. Accordingly, the decision of the COA is that the CAP should be granted associate membership for the Union Territory of Puducherry,” the CoA said in its statement.
