Mumbai: The BCCI’s Working Committee is scheduled to meet on February 19 ahead of the Special General Meeting that has been convened on the same day to deliberate on the sweeping reforms recommended by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice (retired) RM Lodha Committee. “It’s a regular meeting of the Working Committee, which is scheduled at 11:00 AM, to be followed by the SGM,” informed sources in the BCCI on Monday. The SGM has been 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.

Two other items on the special agenda of the SGM are “discussion on financial structure of the Member Boards of ICC (International Cricket Council) and the report of the Affiliation Committee of its visit to Chhattisgarh”. 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, are set to dominate the SGM.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni stayed away from commenting on the sweeping changes Supreme Court appointed Lodha Commission has recommended on the functioning of the Indian cricket board. “Lodha Commission has not given me the report. So you have to ask the BCCI (about what they plan to do),” said Dhoni. IPL and controversies go hand in hand but Dhoni defended the cash-rich league.
