The Supreme Court-appointed Amicus Curiae, PS Narsimha, who was also given additional charge as a mediator to resolve issues of the BCCI state associations, has agreed to make some special provisions for the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). The Amicus has allowed MCA to form a 17-member apex council and also approved its sub-committees to function.

In a couple of meetings that the MCA authorities had with the Amicus, it is learnt that Narsimha was convinced to allow MCA have a 17-member apex council instead of stipulated nine members as recommended by the Justice Lodha Committee.
