Ahead of the Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) elections for the posts of the office-bearers, Ajinkya Naik, the incumbent president, has given his vote of thanks. Naik would complete his term on November 12, when the elections would be held.
“The last three years have truly been an incredible journey,” Naik said. “It was only because of your trust, love, and blessings that I could serve as your representative and work wholeheartedly for the betterment of Mumbai Cricket.”
He added: “With your constant support, we as an Apex Council were able to take over 50 important decisions — all focused on uplifting our maidan clubs and secretaries, office clubs, school and college clubs, and our men and women cricketers. Every step we took came from one emotion — to give back to the people who keep Mumbai Cricket alive. I will always remain deeply grateful for the faith you placed in me.”
In July last year, at 37 years of age, Naik became the MCA’s youngest-ever president, defeating Sanjay Naik by a margin of 107 votes. Before that, he worked as the association’s secretary. One of the major achievements of his tenure has been the inauguration of the MCA Museum at Wankhede Stadium. It captures the legacy and history of Mumbai cricket. The first week of the Museum and Wankhede Stadium Tour received an overwhelming response from the fans.
