Focus on cooling-off period, 9-yr tenure in BCCI SGM today

New Delhi: With the pressure of implementing the Justice Lodha Committee Reforms in the coming six months, a wary BCCI will be meeting for its Special General Meeting (SGM) to discuss the far-reaching implications of the Supreme Court directive.


Post the Supreme Court verdict, which more or less directed the richest cricketing body in the world to adhere to most of the recommendations, this will be the first time that BCCI will apprise all its affiliated units about the way forward.


With the appointment of former Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju as BCCI's legal adviser and interface with the Lodha panel, it is expected that the board will toe the line as per Katju's advice.


The cooling-off period of three years between two terms and a cumulative period of nine years are two points that has come up for a lot of deliberations in the past few days. The verdict, in its present form, could mean the end of the road for senior administrators above 70 years of age.

According to sources, most of the state units will voice their inability to implement the reforms within six months and a minimum time-frame of 12 to 18 months is something that they would require for all practical purposes. This is one issue that Lodha Panel may have to address.
