New Delhi: Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) general secretary Vinod Tihara claimed on Monday that cricketer-turn-MP Gautam Gambhir wanted to take over as president of the DDCA.

"He is welcome," said Tihara, "But he has to resign from the Lok Sabha first as per the Justice Lodha committee recommendations." Gambhir had criticised the DDCA following a scuffle between members during Sunday's Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the cricket body. "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," Gambhir had tweeted after videos of the brawl went viral on social media on Sunday.
