Even as major state cricket associations like Mumbai (MCA) are yet to fully comply with the new BCCI constitution, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) is set to go ahead with its October 22 deadline to conduct polls. Yesterday, the CoA took stock of things along with electoral officer N Gopalaswami and have decided to stick with the deadline mentioned in its earlier timeline.

"A code has been drawn out. They [state associations] are all coming on board. There will be minor delays [in the process of full compliance], but there is ample time. We just did a review and most of them will join. I don't see such great difficulty in getting it done. Some of them are yet to register their constitutions. Figures keep changing on a daily basis. Around 24 to 25 state associations have fully complied. The intention is to hold the elections around the date which is given [October 22]," CoA member Ravindra Thodge said after the meeting yesterday. Electoral officers for the states were also finalised as per criteria laid down by the CoA in its July 25 directive. The state elections must be completed by September 14.
