The issue of Goregaon Sports Club refuses to die down even as the new season of the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League gets underway this Sunday
The issue of Goregaon Sports Club refuses to die down even as the new season of the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League gets underway this Sunday.
Although the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Managing Committee on Sunday decided to retain Goregaon Sports Club in Division E, BRD Cricket Club, which had lodged the protest feel justice is still not done.

The previous MCA Managing Committee had found Goregaon Sports Club guilty of playing three players in the last season without proper registration cards.
"Some players had cards with multiple names and one of the cards did not even have a photograph of the player. We lodged a protest with the MCA. In response, we got a letter from the MCA stating that Goregaon Sports Club has been relegated to Division F," said club owner Paresh Chandrana.
Recently, Goregaon Sports Club appealed to MCA president Sharad Pawar, who then decided to promote the club to Division D. However, after some office-bearers did not find the president's decision convincing, the issue was once again discussed in the Managing Committee on Sunday.
"Kanga League rule 7B-2 clearly states that the club has to be relegated. Ideally, the club has to be relegated. There was no gain for us in lodging this protest because our club anyway was in danger of relegation as we had less points. But such injustice is unacceptable," said Chandrana.
