Spelling out practical problems it had encountered in implementing the Justice Lodha committee's reforms in the BCCI and its affiliates in totality, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has said it already had in place measures that, by and large, gell well with the reform process.
It has also assured the BCCI that the R18.92 crore subsidy it received from the Board will be kept in FD till clearance for its utilisation is received from the Supreme Court. The letter, signed by joint secretary PV Shetty and sent to the BCCI a couple of days ago, said changes that were required to be made in its constitution as formulated by the Lodha panel, needed 2/3rds majority of its general body at its specially convened SGM.
"Alteration or amendment or addition to Memorandum of Association or to these rules shall not be made except at a General Meeting by a resolution carried by a majority of two third of the votes of the members present and voting at the meeting," Shetty stated in his letter.
Shetty noted that while the Board was a policy maker its state bodies were the "decision executing" bodies, in preparation of stadium for hosting matches - including ground preparation - that started four months in advance. He also observed that all the immovable property like stadiums are owned and operated by the associations and not BCCI, right through the year.
