Abhay Hadap has been elected as the new secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), defeating Suraj Samat in a close contest. Hadap, backed by the MCA president and maidan clubs, secured 196 votes out of 337, while Samat, who was proposed by Sachin Tendulkar, received 141. This election was necessitated by the passing of the previous president, Amol Kale, and the subsequent elevation of Ajinkya Naik.
