“……….the BCA Athletes Commission will be composed of at least one male and one female. The male player with the highest number of votes and the female player with the highest number of votes shall be elected; the final player to be elected will be a male or female, whoever achieves the highest number of votes amongst the remaining candidates. In case there are only three candidates for the elections, they will automatically be elected to the commission.
