BCCI unlikely to submit undertaking in Supreme Court
- Updated: October 6, 2016
The BCCI is unlikely to submit an an undertaking to the Supreme Court by Friday, October 7, saying it will “unconditionally” implement all the court-approved recommendations of the Lodha Committee. In the absence of such an agreement from the BCCI, the Supreme Court had indicated it would pass an order on Friday to replace the board’s office bearers with a panel of administrators.
A top BCCI office bearer told ESPNcricinfo there was no way the board could submit such an undertaking at short notice and without the approval of its member associations. “Who am I to submit the undertaking?” he said. “The question arises only if the states agree to these recommendations. How can BCCI office bearers decide what members will implement?
“I can only bring members to the meeting room; I can’t force them to adopt recommendations. They said they couldn’t adopt the recommendations in entirety. What can the office bearers do in this situation? I don’t even have a vote.”
When asked about the BCCI’s next course of action, he said: “We will wait for tomorrow’s order. What else can we do? How can this be done in such short notice? Till the time I have nothing in writing, how can I ask the states? Let the order come, we will make an official statement.”
