In a move that has drawn attention from both cricket and political circles, five candidates from prominent political families have entered the race to become the next president of the Rajasthan Cricket Association.
The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) is set to hold elections for its presidency, a position that carries significant influence over cricketing affairs in the state. The upcoming election has attracted a notable crowd of candidates, all of whom come from well‑known political families.
Five contenders have filed their nominations, each bringing a background steeped in political experience and local influence. While the RCA has traditionally been led by former players and administrators, this time the field is dominated by political scions, signalling a shift in the association’s leadership dynamics.
The election process will involve a nomination phase followed by voting by the RCA’s executive committee. The final decision is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with the new president taking office at the start of the next season.
Observers note that the entry of politically connected candidates could reshape the association’s priorities, potentially aligning cricket development more closely with state governance and public policy initiatives.
