Blow to BCCI: SC accepts major recommendations of Lodha panel


New Delhi, Jul 18 (Agencies): The Supreme Court on Monday accepted all the major recommendations of Justice R M Lodha panel on massive structural and administrative reforms in BCCI.

Court accepted the recommendations to have CAG nominee in BCCI and that office bearers in BCCI should not be beyond the age of 70 years.

The apex court told BCCI to adopt one-state-one-vote policy. States like Maharashtra and Gujarat having more than one cricket association will have voting rights on rotational basis.

It also accepted recommendation that One person should hold one post in cricket administration to avoid any conflict of interest, the apex court added.

Court gave BCCI six months to implement changes as per Lodha recommendations.

The bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice F M I Kalifulla pronounced the verdict.

    Also politicians must be barred from BCCI, what they know about cricket, only former player must be part of BCCI with clear cut age restrictions/and time limit.
    SHARAD PAWAR, JHOOTLEY, KIRTI AZAD......all politicians enjoying our tax money also from corporates as BCCI branding. Where there Is money these politicinas are involved.
    Supreme court must rule that every politician must must be rated by citizens after every election if they have done any good social , improvement work in their ward, only if they qualify from citizens they msut be given another chance or must be barred from election, every politician will become staright. Also minister post must be given to qualified people only, not like present GOVT HRD to 7th pass, Financ to a lawyer, FTCI to cricketer, .........

    Why only BCCI age limit, all politicians must restricted to 70 years, why it is not possible in india?
