MANGALORE : Board of
Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Administrative officer Rathnakar
Shetty will inaugurate the Udupi District Cricket Association (UDCA) on Sunday
at 6 pm.
On this occasion, Executive
Committee Members of the newly formed Association will be inducted by former
test player and Karnataka Cricket Academy director. They are Dr. H S Ballal
(Honorary President), Dr. Krishna Prasad (President) and Prabhakar Shetty as
secretary.
The move to form UDCA was initiated
on November 16, 2011 at Manipal University under the leadership of Dr Ballal,
Pro-Chancellor of Manipal University. As many as 35 cricket fans of Udupi
District attended the discussion and gave some valuable suggestion and comments
in organizing a strong and powerful cricket association at Udupi District.
Dr Krishna Prasad was unanimously
nominated to take the lead and form a team of workers to promote cricket in the
district. Some cricketers who were already involved in cricketing activities
joined hands to draft by laws and study the feasibility of Udupi separating
from the Mangalore zone. That is how Udupi District Cricket Association was
formed.
UDCA is presently a registered body
under the society act Government of Karnataka and the members want to activate
as an official cricket body under the affiliation of Karnataka State Cricket
Association Bangalore.
