While Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has come up with a
range of suggestions to tackle the issue of conflict of interest,
Justice RM Lodha, who heads the committee looking into the affairs of
the board, believes this is just the beginning. The committee has been
empowered by the Supreme Court to suggest changes in BCCI's constitution
and way of functioning and have till the end of the year to submit
their final report.
"We had a long meeting with the new BCCI president Mr Manohar and we discussed various issues. Some of the changes that BCCI have come up in the Working Committee meeting on Sunday might have been result of that discussion," Lodha told TOI.
Asked if the committee was pleased with the changes that BCCI has come up with, the former Chief Justice of India said, "The changes that BCCI are implementing have nothing to do with the report that we will be submitting. We are preparing to tackle the issue of conflict of interest in great detail and we'll be coming up with the final report very soon."
The Supreme Court wanted the committee to suggest amendments to the processes followed by the BCCI 'with a view to preventing sporting frauds, conflict of interests, streamlining the working of BCCI to make it more responsive to the expectations of the public at large'.
Lodha said that the second part of their task should be complete in the next couple of months. "We have sought time from the SC till the end of this year and the report should be ready by then," he said.
