The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Sunday turned into a battlefield as some of the members indulged in a fistfight. A video showing the ugly fight among the office-bearers went viral shortly after the conclusion of the AGM. DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda is among those who can be seen in the melee which reportedly arose after the members could not agree on the agenda which was passed unanimously.

This is how @delhi_cricket conducts it's AGM and resolutions are passed. Have a look. That's the land of @imVkohli @SDhawan25 @ImIshant @RishabhPant17 @virendersehwag and @GautamGambhir. And yes, they all love cricket and want to run it. @BCCI @SGanguly99 pic.twitter.com/f9UceH9NXW

As per reports, there were five points in the agenda which was to be discussed, including the appointment of statutory auditors and passing of annual accounts. While the official DDCA release said all proposals were passed with a thumping majority, video clips of the meeting surfaced on social media suggests there was opposition to some of the points. The association's official response which it tweeted out did not mention the fracas at all.

The scuffle was highly condemned by the former cricketers and DDCA members. Former batsman Gautam Gambhir urged BCCI for dissolution of the DDCA after the AGM fracas.

DDCA GOES “ALL OUT”...AND DDCA IS ALL OUT FOR A SHAMEFUL DUCK. Look, how handful of crooks are making mockery of an institution. I’d urge @BCCI @SGanguly99 @JayShah to dissolve @delhi_cricket immediately. Surely, sanctions or even a life ban for those involved. pic.twitter.com/yg0Z1kfux9

Former India cricketer Kirti Azad wrote to BCCI president Sourav Ganguly over the incident. “The media has been showing the ugly scenes witnessed in DDCA’s AGM today. In light of what has been happening for the last several years, violence was being expected in DDCA premises. The ugly face of DDCA has been visible in DDCA’s AGM today, for which inaction by BCCI is also responsible. Please refer to my several letters to you, after you have assumed charge of BCCI. The crisis in DDCA has been deepening since BCCI has not taken any action to stop the rot,” he wrote.
