The Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) request for extra time to appoint an electoral officer as per the new guidelines, has been rejected by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).

In an email dated August 17, the CoA rejected MCA's plea stating that "MCA did not approach the CoA regarding the unavailability of such eligible officers for appointment as electoral officers or sought assistance of CoA in relation to such appointment, as deliberated in the mediation meeting with the learned Amicus [Curiae]."
