Morarka, Baid expelled from RCA

Former Rajasthan Cricket Association deputy president Kamal Morarka and C.S. Baid have been expelled from the association on disciplinary grounds.

RCA secretary Subhash Joshi said the Executive Committee found the duo guilty of indiscipline and unanimously decided to expel them.

Joshi said the RCA had issued show cause notices to both but only Morarka responded.

In his reply Morarka clarified that he did not go to the media and whatever was published against the RCA and its president, Lalit Modi, came out from the proceedings of an ongoing case in the Supreme Court, informed Joshi.

But the Executive, whose meeting was presided over by deputy president Bimal Soni, did not find Morarka's reply satisfactory and subsequently he and Baid were expelled, Joshi added.

Morarka had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court claming that Modi was convicted in a narcotics case in the United States and was thus not eligible to hold any post in the RCA.

The RCA said Morarka and Baid had brought disrepute to association and its president.

"They will not be allowed to hold any post in the RCA and its member units," added Joshi.
