The Committee of Administrators (COA) running Indian cricket has asked MCA to correct "inaccuracies" in its constitution, failing which it will be barred from participating in the BCCI polls scheduled for October 22.

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is one of the oldest cricket associations and has produced around 70 players who have gone on to play for India.

In September last year, the MCA, while it was being ruled by a COA comprising two retired judges, had registered its new constitution as per the Lodha committee reforms.

However, the COA has spotted inaccuracies in MCA's constitution.

"Your attention is invited to the email dated 17th July 2019 addressed by the Committee of Administrators to the Mumbai Cricket Association providing guidance to the MCA in relation to the inaccuracies in its constitution," the CoA wrote to the MCA on July 19 in an email, a copy of which is in possession of PTI.

"Your response on the same is still awaited. Please note that in order to be declared compliant with the judgement dated 9th August 2018 passed by the Hon'ble Supreme ("Judgement"), the MCA is required to correct the aforesaid inaccuracies, failing which the MCA will be debarred from participating in the election process of BCCI."
