BCCI to approach Supreme Court challenging Lodha Committee recommendations

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to approach the Supreme Court challenging the recommendations of the Justice Lodha Committee, the board decided in its Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai on Friday, 19 February.

The BCCI said it wishes to raise 'the anomalies and difficulties encountered in implementation of Hon'ble Justice Lodha Committee's recommendations' with the Supreme Court.

The same was confirmed by the board through an official press release following the meeting. BCCI, however, agreed to accept one of the recommendations of the committee, which called for it to appoint a CEO and a CFO.

Among other decisions taken during the meeting, the governing body also decided to grant the Cricket Association of Bihar an associate member status, while making the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh a full member.
