Lodha committee proposes sweeping reforms for BCCI
The Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee today recommended sweeping reforms for the controversy-ridden BCCI , suggesting a bar on ministers from occupying positions, putting a cap on the age and tenure of the office-bearers and legalising betting. The committee has also proposed that BCCI be brought under the RTI Act so that it is made accountable to the government without hurting its autonomy. In a series of drastic reforms, the three-member panel, headed by Justice (Retd) R M Lodha, also suggested one unit should represent one state, while taking away the voting rights of institutional and city-based units. The committee also suggested the restructuring of the BCCI’s administrative set-up, proposing the position of a CEO accountable to a nine-member apex council.
