SC dismisses BCCI review plea against Lodha panel reforms

SC dismisses BCCI review plea against Lodha panel reforms In a setback to BCCI, the Supreme Court has refused to review its verdict in which a slew of direction was passed to transform the cricket body by barring ministers and officials from the board and setting an age limit of 70 years for office-bearers.  The Apex Court on July 18 had passed the order on the recommendations of Justice

Lodha committee and ordered a comprehensive revamp of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the next six months, to be overseen by the committee.  It had also directed implementation of the contentious one state, one vote suggestion and had closed the doors on those who for decades had remained in the BCCI governing body by prescribing a maximum of three terms, each of three years, with the caveat that there would a cooling-off period between two terms.
