Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s son, Mahanaryaman Scindia, who is also the vice-president of the Gwalior Division Cricket Association, was unanimously elected as the president of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) on Monday, according to an official. At 29, Mahanaryaman, a member of the Gwalior royal family, has become the youngest president of the MPCA, which was established in 1957. He is the third generation of his family to lead the cricket body.
Rohit Pandit, the MPCA’s chief administrative officer, informed PTI that all positions in the association’s elections were filled unopposed. The newly elected executive will be officially ratified during the annual general meeting on Tuesday, after which the office-bearers will assume their roles.
The new executive includes Vineet Sethia as vice-president, Sudhir Asnani as secretary, Arundhati Kherkire as joint secretary, and Sanjeev Dua as treasurer. Sandhya Agarwal, Prasoon Kanamdikar, Rajiv Risodkar, and Vijesh Rana have been elected as committee members. The cricket committee consists of Pradeep Banerjee, Ramnik Patel, and Abhay Laghate.
Outgoing MPCA president Abhilash Khandekar reflected on his tenure, stating, “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.”
Who Is Mahanaryaman Scindia?
Mahanaryaman’s involvement in cricket administration has increased over the past three years. He was appointed as the vice-president of the GDCA and became a lifetime MPCA member in 2022. He also serves as the president of the Madhya Pradesh T20 League (MPL), which was launched in Gwalior in 2024.
The Scindia family has had a significant influence on cricket administration in the state for decades. Mahanaryaman’s late grandfather, Madhavrao Scindia, and his father, Jyotiraditya Scindia, both served as MPCA presidents.
About 15 years ago, State Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya challenged the Scindia family’s dominance in the MPCA. In the 2010 elections, Jyotiraditya Scindia defeated Vijayvargiya by 70 votes for the president’s post, with the Scindia faction winning all major executive positions.
Following the Lodha Committee recommendations, Jyotiraditya Scindia and senior administrator Sanjay Jagdale had to step down from their MPCA posts in January 2017, as they had both completed more than nine years in the managing committee, making them ineligible to continue.
