Five prominent political families have fielded their sons in the Rajasthan Cricket Association elections, with three candidates battling for the top post.
The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) has opened nominations for its upcoming elections, attracting the sons of five influential political families in the state. Among the many aspirants, three candidates have emerged as frontrunners for the coveted president’s seat, each backed by a distinct faction within the association.
The three groups are aligned around the families of Khenswar and Rathore, whose sons have formally filed their candidatures. Their entry has turned the race into a high‑profile contest, reflecting the growing intertwining of regional politics with sports administration.
Election officials have confirmed that the voting will be conducted by the association’s members later this month, with the outcome expected to shape RCA’s governance and its role in promoting cricket across Rajasthan.
Stakeholders anticipate that the result will also signal how political influence may steer the future of cricket development programs and infrastructure projects in the state.
The RCA’s executive committee will announce the final list of candidates and the election schedule in the coming days, as the three factions gear up for a closely watched showdown.
