Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Cricket Association Thursday nominated tainted and jailed former supremo Asirbad Behera’s son Sanjay Behera as its representative at the BCCI AGM scheduled to be held October 23.

The Special General Meeting of OCA held under the chairmanship of Pankaj Lochan Mohanty, president, OCA, was attended by 57 out of 73 members. The meeting was held in Cuttack.
