Both the associations wrote to BCCI for recognition. Subsequently, the CAB was formed by Ajay Narayan Sharma and Ravi Shankar Prasad. The CAB secretary pointed out that in 2009, the BCCI had expressed dissatisfaction over alleged mismanagement of funds in BCA following which the association was dissolved by the then president of the association, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and an ad hoc committee was constituted under Siddiqui. "The arrogance of BCCI has reached such great heights that it is not even paying heed to the highest court of the land," said Verma further. Verma added that on January 9, senior board official Ratnakar Shetty flew down to Patna on an invitation from Abdul Bari Siddiqui, the Finance Minister of the state, and publicly said that BCCI recognises BCA, the rival association of CAB.

Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) secretary Aditya Verma said that he has filed an application in the Supreme Court (SC) questioning Board of Control for Cricket in India's 'contradictory stance' on the rival state association BCA.
