Choudhary seeks BCCI members’ views

Wants to put them in his affidavit to SC

With the Supreme Court scheduled to hear the matter related to the implementation of the Justice Lodha reforms in cricket on February 23, BCCI acting-secretary Amitabh Choudhary has requested the BCCI members to give their ‘express views’ on the same so that he can put them all in his affidavit to be placed before the apex court.

Choudhary has told the BCCI members that while some State Associations have already implemented the judgement and filed affidavits before the apex court, others have expressed their readiness to implement the judgement subject to their reservations on the impracticability of a few of the recommendations that the Supreme Court itself is seized of, like one State one member and bar on eligibility of government employees.

In a note mailed to BCCI members on Sunday, Choudhary has said: “As many as 13 full-member units have already written indicating their decision (on the matter of provision of cooling off period, constitution of the Apex Council and distribution of functions, powers and responsibilities between the elected office-bearers and the professional appointees) and more have requested me to do the needful to bring their views to the notice of the Hon’ble Court.

Proposal

“In keeping with the said request, I propose to file an affidavit before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, apprising it of the views of the said members with regard to the implementation of the reforms.

“However, before that is done, the undersigned would most humbly request those members who have not expressed themselves expressly on the subject to kindly do so.”
