BCCI suspends RCA on Modi's return

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was on Tuesday (May 6) elected President of the Rajasthan Cricket Association, setting the stage for yet another round of legal tussle between him and a livid BCCI, which had threatened to ban RCA in anticipation of this result. The election was conducted in December last year but the results were sealed following a Supreme Court directive. After much deliberation, the result was finally announced by a court-appointed observer here today. Responding to Lalit Modi's election as RCA President, BCCI has decided to suspend the Rajasthan Cricket body. The BCCI will also be issuing a showcause notice to RCA for allowing a Banned cricket administrator to contest the elections.
