As per news report of The Indian Express, these are some of UPCA’s life members whose presence on the voting list for the February 13-15 by-elections to top posts in the state association has resulted in seven of UPCA’s 19 Apex Council members raising questions about propriety in a writ petition filed in the Allahabad High Court. The writ describes the inclusion of these life members and corporate members as an attempt by long-serving UPCA officials to retain control over cricket in the country’s most populous state by “tampering”.
