Mp cricket association: The son of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia (Jyotiraditya Scindia) and Gwalior Divisional Cricket Association (GDCA) Vice President Mahan Aryaman Scindia (Mahanaryaman Scindia) has been elected unopposed president of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA). Along with this, the way for the 29 -year -old descendant of the third generation of the former royal family of Gwalior has been cleared to take charge of the cricket organization of the state.
The great Aryaman is set to handle the reins of this organization as the youngest president in the history of MPCA established in the year 1957.
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Rohit Pandit of MPCA told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ on Monday that all the posts of the executive including the president were elected unopposed in the MPCA elections and thus the entire executive has been unanimously elected.
He informed that the newly elected executive of MPCA will be finalized in the annual general assembly (AGM) held on September 2 (Tuesday), after which the executive officials will take charge.
Pandit said that Vineet Sethia Vice President, Sudhir Asani Secretary, Arundhati Kirkire Joint Secretary and Sanjeev Dua Treasurer have been elected in the new executive of MPCA.
He said that the newly elected members of the Managing Committee of MPCA include Sandhya Aggarwal, Prasoon Kanmadikar, Rajiv Risodkar and Vijesh Rana, while the cricket committee has given Pradeep Banerjee, Ramanik Patel and Abhay Laghte a place in the cricket committee.
Abhilash Khandekar, outgoing president of MPCA “The MPCA has achieved many achievements during the last six years,” said ‘PTI-Bhasha’. I hope that the great Aryaman Scindia-led newly elected executive will take MPCA to new heights. “
The activism of the great Aryaman in the corridors of cricket has been seen increasing continuously in three years. The Great Aryaman was appointed as the Vice President of GDCA in 2022. He was made a lifetime member of MPCA in 2022 itself.
The Great Aryaman is also the President of the T20 Cricket League Madhya Pradesh League (MPL). He started his MPL from his hometown Gwalior in 2024.
However, the Scindia family has been in the cricket administration of the state for a long time and the family has been dominated by the family for the last several decades. The late grandfather of the great Aryaman, Madhavrao Scindia and his father Jyotiraditya Scindia have also been the president of MPCA.
Kabina Minister of Madhya Pradesh government Kailash Vijayvargiya challenged the domination of the Scindia family 15 years ago in MPCA. In the 2010 elections of MPCA, there was a direct fight between Jyotiraditya Scindia and Kailash Vijayvargiya.
Jyotiraditya Scindia defeated the post of MPCA President by 70 votes in these elections held amidst heavy tussle. In these elections, the powerful Scindia camp captured all the major positions of the executive by cleaning the newly-wide Vijayvargiya faction.

Jyotiraditya Scindia was at that time in the Congress -led United Progressive Alliance government at the Center, while the Vijayvargiya was holding the position of the minister of the same department in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of the state.
Senior cricket administrators like Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sanjay Jagdale had to leave their important positions in January 2017 due to the recommendations of the Lodha Committee as it had been more than nine years since both of them lived in different positions of the management committee of this organization. As a result, according to the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, he became ineligible to take over in this organization.
Jyotiraditya Scindia left the Congress in the year 2020 and joined the BJP. The Kailash Vijayvargiya faction and Jyotiraditya Scindia camp at MPCA have already ended. (Language)
