Anthony Stanislaus De Mello played a leading role in the formation of the Cricket Club of India, the BCCI and other local organisations. His enthusiasm was contagious but sometimes it got the better of him, as evidenced when he had to resign as secretary of the CCI after grossly overspending on the construction of the Brabourne Stadium.
