Venkatesh Prasad Enters KSCA Presidential Race With Kumble, Srinath Backing as Nominations Open

He pledges to restore matches at Chinnaswamy Stadium after a safety ruling that halted major events.

Overview

  • The KSCA election is set for November 30, with nominations accepted from November 12 to 16.
  • Prasad unveiled his “Team Game Chargers” slate: Sujith Somasundar for vice-president, Vinay Mruthynjaya for secretary, A. V. Shashidhar for joint secretary, B. N. Madhukar for treasurer, and Avinash Vaidya for Bengaluru Zone institutional member.
  • Somasundar resigned as education head at the BCCI Centre of Excellence to join the ticket.
  • Prasad frames his bid around ending “back-seat driving,” revamping infrastructure across districts, and strengthening player pathways including women’s cricket.
  • The contest is expected to feature K. N. Shanth Kumar as a principal rival, reported to have Brijesh Patel’s backing, while the stadium’s status follows a June stampede that killed 11 and led a judicial panel to deem it unsafe for large events.
