The Malaysian Cricket Association president Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Jaafar was unopposed at the close of nominations last Saturday.Imran, who has been at the helm of the national cricket body since 1992, thus retains his position for a two-year term.The president's position was the only post uncontested, as all the other positions will see contest at the BGM, which will be held at Wisma OCM this Saturday.Imran will have a new number two, as P. Krishnasamy, who was the Hon. Treasurer and former national skipper and team manager Datuk Amarjit Singh will contest the Deputy President position.
