Former India [ Images ] skipper and chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar and Union Minister for Heavy Industries Vilasrao Deshmukh [ Images ] were on Tuesday elected unopposed as vice-presidents of Mumbai [ Images ] Cricket Association (MCA).
After the deadline for withdrawal of nominations ended on Tuesday evening, both Vengsarkar and former Maharashtra [ Images ] Chief Minister Deshmukh were left without any opponent for the July 10 elections.
President Sharad Pawar [ Images ], too, was declared re-elected unopposed for another term.

Former Test opener and coach Lalchand Rajput will be fighting a triangular contest with incumbents Dr P V Shetty and Hemant Waingankar for the two posts of joint-secretary of the MCA.
Sudhir Naik, another former Test opener, is in the fray earning berth in the 11-member managing committee along with former Mumbai Ranji Trophy captain Milind Rege and 22 others.
A total of 28 nominations were filed, with four persons withdrawing before the deadline.
