Lodha panel report: BCCI to file affidavit in SC pointing out difficulties in implementation of recommendations

New Delhi: BCCI will an affidavit in the Supreme Court, pointing out difficulties in implementation of Lodha panel recommendations.

This decision was taken during the special general meeting of the board in Mumbai on Friday.

The apex court had handed BCCI a March 3 deadline to notify it whether the recommendations will be implemented.

BCCI also gave a full member status to Chhattisgarh, which means the state will play in the Ranji Trophy from next season.

The SGM was convened to figure out a way forward after being told sternly by the country's apex court to "fall in line" with the far-reaching consequences of the report.

The far-reaching effects of the implementation of the Lodha panel's recommendations, calling for wide-ranging reforms in the BCCI's structure, and the subsequent scathing remark on the matter by the Supreme Court that has shaken the Board members, dominated the SGM.
