On Saturday, Rajat Sharma the senior journalist has resigned from the post of president of DDCA (Delhi & District Cricket Association) citing his inability to continue amidst ‘various pulls and pressures’ within the organization.
Rajat Sharma’s nearly 20-month tenure was a hectic one with his public differences with general secretary Vinod Tihara, who enjoys a fair amount of support base in the organization.
“The cricket administration here is full of pulls and pressures all the time. I feel that vested interests are always actively working against the interest of cricket,” senior journalist Rajat Sharma said in his statement.
“It seems that it may not be possible to carry on in DDCA with my principles of integrity, honesty, and transparency, which I am not willing to compromise at any cost,” Sharma added.
Today I have tendered my resignation from the post of President, DDCA and has sent it to the Apex Council. I thank all of you for your overwhelming support, respect and affection during my tenure. My best wishes to @delhi_cricket
