The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to convene a Special General Meeting of its affiliated units in Mumbai on August 5 to discuss about the implementation of the Lodha Committee Recommendations as per Supreme Court directives. The state unit members have been apprised about the development today. The agenda is to discuss the implementation of the Supreme Court directives, according to one of the member of state unit. The idea of calling SGM before president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke meeting Lodha Panel on August 9 in New Delhi is to take stock of the current situation and also the viewpoint of the members regarding practical difficulties of implementation, before it is placed before the committee.  ALSO READ: SC asks BCCI to impletement Lodha recommendation over ‘one state one vote’ on rotational basis

“Yes, we have received an e-mail from the BCCI that there will be an SGM on August 5 at the Cricket Centre in Mumbai. I guess before meeting the Lodha Panel in Delhi on August 9, the senior office-bearers will like to take the viewpoint of the senior state unit officials. One of the main bone of contention is the cumulative tenure part of 9 years for the office-bearers,”said the BCCI official.

It is expected that BCCI’s team of lawyers will also be present during the SGM. The Supreme Court of India has given a deadline of six months for BCCI to implement a major chunk of recommendations given by the Lodha Committee. The Indian cricket board will thus be a refurbished body of governing cricket activities in India, with no minister involved in its set-up. Supreme Court has also given its verdict on the one-state-one-vote recommendation, allowing exceptions to Maharashtra and Gujarat, who have three different cricketing bodies.
