The BCCI's attempt to dilute the Justice Lodha Committee reforms by making amendments to key clauses of the new constitution has been put on hold. In its AGM on Sunday, the key amendments set out in the AGM agenda were cooling off period affecting office-bearers, relaxing disqualification criteria as it hampers in nominating the best and most experienced person to the ICC, doing away with Supreme Court's stamp of approval for amending the BCCI constitution, bestowing more powers to the secretary instead of the CEO and empowering office-bearers in running the day-to-day affairs of the BCCI.

It is understood that the proposed amendments were not even tabled in the AGM, fearing contempt of court. However, the BCCI members had no objections to the amendments. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly stressed that there are only "certain things" that the BCCI want amendments for. "Six are very few. That does not stop the running of the board," he said.
