IS Bindra quits as PCA chief

One of India’s senior most cricket administrators, Inderjit Singh Bindra has resigned as president of the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) after being in charge for 36 years. ‘I feel it is the right time to withdraw from the daily affairs of PCA,’  said Bindra. ‘I will be leaving cricket administration a satisfied person. A day comes in everyone’s life that one has to go through this phase and I have made my decision.’ D P Reddy, an IAS officer who has been an administrator with PCA for the past 14 years, will take over as the new president. Just two months ago, he was relieved as principal secretary (finance), one of the top portfolios in the secretariat and the charge was given to principal secretary (health) Vini Mahajan.
