Ravi Shastri, the former India captain who served as the team director between 2014 and 2016, has said that the Lodha Committee should continue having a dialogue with the BCCI. Shastri also suggested that the committee should not push the board into a corner over the implementation of reforms as that could prove to be detrimental to Indian cricket in the long run.If you try and push it immediately it might just be detrimental at this moment of time, Shastri told his former India team-mate and co-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar during an interaction that was part of Indias 500th Test celebrations. There are certain areas where I thought you can still have a dialogue with the Lodha Committee because those are things, if applied, it could take the game back. It could be detrimental.Since the release of the Lodha Committees report in January this year, the BCCI has been stoutly defending its position that some of the recommendations would damage Indian cricket on the field as well as financially. However, the Supreme Court on July 18 upheld the committees report, making it mandatory for the BCCI to implement most of the recommendations. The committee has set two deadlines for BCCI and state associations - September 30 and December 30 - to implement the recommendations, failing which the board and its state units could be held in contempt of court.Shastri said that he did not agree with the recommendations of a three-year cooling-off period for administrators, an age cap of 70 years for officials, and trimming of the national selection panel from five to three members. Incidentally, the BCCI had also declared its reservations on the cooling-off period and age-cap recommendations.Shastri termed the three-year cooling-off period harsh and believed it could dissuade players who wanted to move into cricket administration. Instead, he suggested, administrators could be allowed an initial term of six years.Why would I want to join the BCCI? Why would any player want to join the BCCI? If I have an idea that is something constructive that I can do, contribute [and] in three years you are telling me to go. What can anyone achieve in three years? How do I know the guy after [me will be] competent enough? If I have done a competent job, I should be respected for my competency. Six years is no harm. After that, if you have to sit out for three years [and] come back for another six, fair enough.Shastri opposed the age cap for administrators saying there was no substitute for experience. We have got a couple of guys in the board [who are] 70-plus but then, forget a youngster, theyll give anyone from any field a run for their money. I am not targeting anyone or anything, he said. I have seen them working, people know who I am talking about. They are outstanding.Shastri also supported the BCCIs decision to stick to a five-member national selection panel, instead of the three-member panel suggested by the Lodha Committee. At its annual general meeting earlier this week, the BCCI appointed a new five-member selection panel chaired by former India wicketkeeper MSK Prasad. Shastri stated that applying a model practised by countries like Australia was not suitable for a more densely populated country like India.When I played the game, I thought three selectors was enough. But today the way the game has evolved, with the three formats of the game, the interest that exists in the country, the combined number of people that play the game in India is more than the population of all the countries that play cricket together, he said. So if Australia has three selectors that is fine - they have 17-20 million people. Here you are asking the poor guy too much. He will get serious travel miles. He will go from one end to other end of the country and still not be able to do the job. I think five is still in order.Shastri said there was no need for a boxing bout between the committee and the BCCI. It shouldnt be like a boxing bout. A genuine effort should be made ideally from both parties to have a dialogue on certain things. Most of the recommendations are anyway accepted and the board is trying to do something.Shastri feared that if the Lodha Committee remained adamant, Indian cricket could be set back by five years.If things were that bad, you wouldnt have achieved what you have achieved. We are celebrating the 500th Test match, he said. You won two World Cups. You were the No.1 team in the world. So all cannot be wrong. Yes, there might have been areas where you need a whack on the backside to be corrected.We want Indian cricket to carry on. We dont want it to go back by five years. We dont want this team to suffer after five years. There will be total chaos. Other teams will get the upper hand. And then again you will have to try and climb up the ladder. Nate Allen Jersey .

The BCCI has said it unanimously adopted important recommendations made by the Lodha Committee at its Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai on October 1. However, the list the board said it had accepted did not include key recommendations such as the age cap of 70 years for board officials, the tenure cap of nine years with cooling-off periods in between, and the one-state-one-vote policy, among others.The BCCIs move would appear to be against the Supreme Court order, which said that all of the Lodha reports recommendations passed by the court on July 18 - and not a selection - would have to be adopted by the board.The SGM in Mumbai, which was originally supposed to be on September 30 but was adjourned on a technicality, lasted about six hours, at the end of which BCCI president Anurag Thakur said there were legal challenges and practical difficulties in accepting some recommendations of the Lodha Committee. Wherever they [members] find legal challenges and practical difficulties, they have given their viewpoints and have not accepted those recommendations, Thakur said. If you look at the overall structure of the BCCI, it is the members who form the board. As far as Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke [the board secretary] are concerned, we were there just to convene the meeting. It is up to the members to accept or reject. Weve invited members to adopt the Lodha recommendations and members have given their viewpoints.According to Thakur, representatives of every state association had attended the SGM except for Vidarbha, which had requested for a leave of absence. He said a detailed report would be submitted in the Supreme Court and sent to the Lodha Committee. [The report would be about] what the members have felt, and why they have accepted and not accepted a few recommendations.Although no one from the Lodha Committee was available for a comment, a senior lawyer, who has followed and been party to the BCCI case, did not agree with the boards stance. The Supreme Court has passed a judgement. Today the BCCI is saying there are parts of which we are rejecting. There is no question of accepting or not. The directive of the court to the BCCI is: you will adopt the amendments, the lawyer said. According to him the BCCIs defiance will further empower the court, which had already warned the BCCI more than once to fall in line.In a media release following the SGM, the BCCI listed the following among the recommendations they had accepted from the Lodha report:The induction of the representative of the Comptroller and Auditor General as the member of the Apex Council and the IPL Governing CouncilThe formation of the Apex Council - to replace the working committee, according to the Lodha report - with certain modifications. The Lodha report had recommended that only the BCCI president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer be part of the Apex Council but it is undeerstood that the board was in favour of all the members of the working committee remaining a part of the Apex Council.ddddddddddddPutting in place various committees as recommended by the Lodha Committee, including the special committee for the differently abled and the womens committee.The formation of the Players AssociationVoting rights for the Associate members as per the ICC guidelinesPuducherry (Pondicherry) to be granted associate membership in the BCCIA Code of Conduct for players and team officials, Anti-Doping Code, Anti-Racism Code, Anti-Corruption Code and Operational Rules for implementation for the next IPL seasonImplement player-agent registration normsAccording to the Lodha Committee, the decisions taken by the BCCI at its AGM - including the appointment of a five-member selection panel and the election of Shirke as secretary - on September 21 were contrary to the court order issued on July 18 by TS Thakur, the Chief Justice of India, and Supreme Court judge Ibrahim Kallifulla.The BCCI had been given one week from September 28 to respond in court to the status report filed by the Lodha Committee, which had recommended that the Supreme Court supersede the BCCIs top brass because they were impeding the implementing of the recommendations.The Committee had also taken exception to the BCCI announcing the SGM on September 30. The BCCI, Lodha said, was supposed to hold an executive general body meeting (EGM) by September 28, when it would adopt the new Memorandum of Association and Rules (MoA), the first step needed to adopt the recommendations of the Lodha Committee. Instead Shirke had written to the Committee on September 22 stating the BCCI would consider the amendments suggested at the SGM.The BCCI had also filed an application in the Supreme Court, pleading for the courts July 18 order to be suspended until it heard the boards review and curative petitions against the mandatory implementation of most of the Lodha Committees recommendations. The board had filed a review petition last month against the Supreme Courts order directing it to implement most of the recommendations. In the petition, the BCCI called the court order unreasoned and asked for the recusal of Chief Justice Thakur from its hearing. However, the petition has been lying in defect because the court raised technical objections to the petition and asked the BCCI to repair them.The Lodha Committee - comprising former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha and retired Supreme Court judges Ashok Bhan and R Raveendran - was formed in January 2015 to determine appropriate punishments for some of the officials involved in the 2013 IPL corruption scandal, and also to propose changes to streamline the BCCI, reform its functioning, prevent sporting fraud and conflict of interest.
