With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Ethics Officer D.K. Jain sending notices to the ad-hoc Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy for their alleged conflict of interest, the question of whether the practical problem of implementing the Conflict Clause as proposed by the Lodha Panel must be looked into has again come to the fore.

While the sending of notices to the trio saw Kapil and Rangaswamy resign, the whole fiasco could have been avoided if the Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai and Ravi Thodge had listened to Diana Edulji.
