In a change of stance, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) in their Saturday's meeting in New Delhi decided not to provide any opinion to the ethics officer Justice DK Jain when he takes up the conflict of interest complaints against Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman. mid-day has learnt that the CoA will refrain from opining in Tendulkar and Laxman's case and only provide the facts in the matter if asked for by the ethics officer.

In Sourav Ganguly's conflict of interest case, BCCI CEO Rahul Johri, representing the CoA, had emailed Justice Jain to "allow" Ganguly to continue his role as advisor of Delhi Capitals IPL team if he makes "full disclosures".
