The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed displeasure over the management of sports bodies by non-experts, saying that cricket associations should be led by retired cricketers rather than individuals who "do not even know how to handle a bat". ADVERTISEMENTThe bench was hearing pleas including the one filed by the MCA against the high court order. Those who do not even know the game... do not even know how to handle a bat. The legal battle began when former Indian cricketer and BJP leader Kedar Jadhav approached the Bombay High Court. "The High Court will consider the contentions and is requested to decide the matter expeditiously," the bench ordered.
