BCCI remains transparent: Thakur
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced that it will convene a Special General Body Meeting (SGM) in the third week of this month to discuss the recommendations of the Supreme Court-appointed Justice RM Lodha Committee on restructuring.
New Delhi : The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced that it will convene a Special General Body Meeting (SGM) in the third week of this month to discuss the recommendations of the Supreme Court-appointed Justice RM Lodha Committee on restructuring.
BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said that the every State Association has been asked to look into the Lodha panel recommendations and make suggestions.
He added that the board's legal committee will meet again on February 7 and an SGBM has been called in the third week of February to discuss the report.
“The BCCI is not looking for an escape route. We believe in transparency and accountability. In the last nine months, we have done things which would indicate that we are in the right direction," he said.
“The Lodha Committee has recommended many things but every member has the right to look into the recommendations,” Thakur said at a press conference where he also announced the squads for the Asia Cup and World T20.
He said the BCCI is one of the best sports bodies across the world and its good work must not be discounted. “When India won the 1983 World Cup, we (BCCI) did not have any money to pay our champion team. But now it is different.
It is not that everything that has happened in the last 30-40 years in the BCCI has been all wrong. So while taking any step, that should also be taken into account,” Thakur reasoned.
