Former India opener Kenia Jayantilal visited the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) office twice last week — once to pick up the former international players membership form, and then to submit it the next day. He did so to become a MCA member and be eligible to cast his vote at the upcoming elections on October 4. However, he was handed the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) form instead, which makes him eligible to cast his vote only for the ICA elections and not the MCA polls.

Jayantilal is understandably livid. "I went to the MCA office on September 24 and requested the CEO CS Naik to give me a membership form. The next day, I submitted the form along with my identification proof for my voter's card and even got an acknowledgement for it. But yesterday [Monday] I was shocked to learn that my name was not on the list of eligible voters on MCA's website. The reason for this is that the form that was given to me was not the MCA membership form but the ICA membership form. I wanted to become a MCA member and vote at Friday's elections, but now that opportunity is lost because MCA have erred," Jayantilal told mid-day yesterday.
