NEW DELHI: Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia's son, Mahanaryaman Scindia, vice-president of the Gwalior Division Cricket Association, was unanimously elected president of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) on Monday, an official said.
The 29-year-old member of the former Gwalior royal family has become the youngest chief in the MPCA's history since its establishment in 1957 and is the third generation of his family to lead the cricket body.
Speaking to PTI, MPCA Chief Administrative Officer Rohit Pandit said that all positions in the association's elections were filled unopposed. The newly elected executive will be formally ratified at the annual general meeting on Tuesday, after which the office-bearers will officially assume their roles.
According to Pandit, the newly elected MPCA executive team features Vineet Sethia as vice-president, Sudhir Asnani as secretary, Arundhati Kherkire as joint secretary, and Sanjeev Dua as treasurer.
The elected committee members include Sandhya Agarwal, Prasoon Kanamdikar, Rajiv Risodkar, and Vijesh Rana. The cricket committee is composed of Pradeep Banerjee, Ramnik Patel, and Abhay Laghate.
Outgoing MPCA president Abhilash Khandekar told PTI, "In the last six years, the MPCA has garnered several milestones. I hope the newly elected executive under Mahanaryaman Scindia's leadership will take the association to new heights."
Mahanaryaman's presence in cricket administration has expanded over the past three years. He was named vice-president of the Gwalior Division Cricket Association (GDCA) and became a lifetime member of the MPCA in 2022. In addition, he has been serving as the president of the Madhya Pradesh T20 League (MPL), which was launched in Gwalior in 2024.
