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.

"He's a quick healer and he'll play through some pain, definitely, if he's capable, if it's not a bad, bad injury. But we've seen that he's struggled lately - but more when he's been tired," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added. Manchester United secured a 1-0 win against Wolves with the help of Juan Mata's strike. Manchester United will take on Liverpool in Premier L...
