Selector's Age Cap Issue: Bishan Singh Bedi, Kirti Azad Score Moral Win Over Ddca

By IANS News December 24, 2020 • 00:06 AM View: 1377

Wednesday was a day to forget for the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) as it copped twin embarrassment. A day after former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi wrote to Delhi's parent cricket body to remove his name associated with the Arun Jaitley Stadium and scrap his membership, he - and his former Delhi teammate Kirti Azad - on Wednesday scored a moral victory over an age cap rule that denied Azad the opportunity to become a Delhi selector.

The DDCA seemed to beat a hasty retreat when the issue of the 60-year cap for picking senior selectors for the 2020-21 domestic season was adjudicated by its Ombudsman Justice (retired) Badar Durrez Ahmed, who ruled that the present Ashu Dani-led committee would be allowed to select the Delhi team only for the T20 Syed Mushtaq Trophy that begins on January 10.
