MCA Says Will Pay Staff Salaries, Affiliated Clubs Offer Help

Written by Abhishek Patil

A senior official of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Monday said pending salaries of its staff and dues of players would be paid as soon as the cricket body gets appropriate orders from the Supreme Court.

“A MCA member has approached the Supreme Court and we are awaiting its orders. As soon as we get an appropriate order, we will make all necessary payments of the staff and the players,” the official told PTI.

The employees of the cricket body have not got their September salary so far as there is nobody in authority to operate the MCA bank accounts.

“Not a single staff member has made any complaint with regard to non payment of their salary,” the source said.

Meanwhile, a few members of the clubs affiliated with the MCA are willing to come forward to help the staff.

“We have approached the affiliated clubs of the MCA and have asked them to help the MCA staff. We will be soon conducting a meeting of the clubs on how to help the staffers.

The response from the clubs so far has been good,” said Khodadad Yazdegardi, vice president of the Parsee Gymkhana, an affiliated club.
