BCCI to set up panel for early implementation of Lodha reforms

Mumbai: In a Special General Meeting (SGM) here on Monday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to form a committee to implement the Lodha reforms at the earliest.

The committee will also be looking into issues like 'one-state, one-vote', age cap of 70 years, increasing the number of members in the selection panel to five from the current three and more.

It will begin its work in the next two days and it is expected to submit its first report within a fortnight.

"The Board of Control for Cricket in India will form a committee to ensure the principal order of Supreme Court can be implemented at the earliest," BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary told reporters after the meeting.

"A five-six member committee will be formed tomorrow (Tuesday) to see how best and quickly the principal order of the Supreme Court can be implemented," he added.

Among the other issues discussed was playing the bilateral series with Pakistan. When asked about that development, Choudhary said the situation is the same and a tour is possible only after the government's nod.

"We met with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the basis of a letter signed by the BCCI back in 2014. It was necessary. Our position is still the same. The tour can take place only after government permission," Choudhary said.

The issue of the suspension of the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) was also discussed in the meeting, which was also attended by former BCCI president N. Srinivasan.

Michy Batshuayi scored the opening goal of the match in the sixth minute and Chelsea's second goal was scored in the 64th minute. "It was a tough game, as we knew that it would be, but we need to score in the first half two more goals. That's our problem in this moment but obviously we're happy to go through," the club's official website quoted Kovacic as saying. "It was because we didn't score on time - we had some chances and we didn't use them. In training, we are working on it but we are still a young team, a new team, and we need to improve a lot. We need to take our chances, which in this moment we are not doing great, but we have time to improve and I am sure we will do," he added.
