However, disqualified officials are looking to exploit loopholes, making a mockery of the effort to usher in reforms in the electoral process and cleanse cricket associations of personal fiefdoms. Acting BCCI president CK Khanna, who has held various posts in the Delhi association (DDCA) for over three decades, is one of the senior officials who is not qualified to become an office-bearer afresh. However, he has pitched his wife, Shashi, for the post of vice-president, a post he held not long ago. Former DDCA president and general secretary, Sneh Bansal, has put forward his brother, Rakesh Bansal, raising concerns that associations will continue to be in the iron grip of the same officials. Rajat Sharma is also patron of Uttaranchal Cricket Association (Uttarakhand state), which means his election could flout the one man, one post rule.
