What's the story

The Wankhede Stadium lost the rights to host an ODI between India and West Indies as the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) was facing financial issues. In the same regard, the MCA was asked to take its proposal of an ad-hoc committee to Supreme Court. Now the MCA has said it won't be able to host a preparation camp for the Indian eves.

Issues

MCA hurt by BCCI's treatment regarding shifting of ODI

The reason behind the MCA's decision to not host the Indian women's team preparation camp at the Wankhede Stadium is because it was not officially informed by the BCCI about the shifting of fourth ODI between India and West Indies. According to a report in The Indian Express, the women's team was scheduled for a week-long camp for the upcoming World T20 event.

Demands

MCA demands answers from BCCI

The BCCI shifted the fourth ODI to the Brabourne Stadium but the MCA is yet to receive an official confirmation. As per a mail written by MCA chief executive officer Naik, the problem that has occurred is that the officials came to know about the shifting of the ODI from the media. MCA also seeks reasons from the BCCI for the treatment it received.

Highlights

MCA to approach High Court as issues get highlighted

MCA members are also planning to approach the Bombay High Court regarding the issue that got surfaced regarding the ODI. Earlier, it was the High Court that directed the MCA to seek a solution in the apex court, regarding the ad-hoc committee. The MCA's unwillingness to host the women's team camp highlights the ego battles here.

Issues

Several issues grip MCA

The MCA is facing an inability to operate its bank account, besides also dealing with non-issuance of tender notice as far as in-stadia advertising rights are concerned. Further, the problems regarding the fourth ODI stemmed after the decision of the HC-appointed Committee of Administrators. It was headed by two retired judges, but they gave up their charge on September 14.
