The under-fire BCCI adjourned its crucial Special General Meeting on Friday, called to consider the sweeping reforms suggested by the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee, on technical grounds.
BCCI halts the Special General Meeting on Friday, called to consider the sweeping reforms suggested by the Supreme Court appointed Lodha Committee, on technical grounds.
It is learnt the reason for adjournment of the SGM was that some of the BCCI’s member units had not come to the meeting with a letter of authorization.
“They have been told to get a proper letter of authorization from their respective units,” a source present at the meeting said.
The BCCI, which has filed a review petition challenging Lodha panel’s recommendation, is not left with many options.
The Board drew the apex court’s ire after Lodha committee submitted its status report before the Supreme Court listing violations committed by the BCCI vis-à-vis the panel’s recommendations.
The BCCI has time to respond to the report till October 6.
The present BCCI officials have openly criticized the recommendations.
Today is the deadline of the first set of recommendations made by the Lodha panel, requiring the BCCI to adopt the new Memorandum of Association and Rules.
