Even as deadline for their crucial meeting with the Justice lodha panel is approaching, the bigwigs of BCCI are to meet here on Tuesday to discuss the Supreme Court verdict upholding most of its appointed committee’s recommendations for sweeping reforms in the Board.

The Working Committee of the Board has been convened urgently to discuss this burning issue that is set to shake up the very structure of the BCCI, along with the proposed two-match T20 series against the West Indies in Florida, USA, later this month.

Post the WC meet, the BCCI’s SGM has been convened on August 5 in Delhi to discuss the Supreme Court order which has shaken up the Board’s mandarins, a lot of whom will be impacted by it.

The SC-appointed lodha panel has also invited BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke to meet the committee in Delhi on August 9 and, as such, tomorrow’s meeting would obviously be used to discuss the apex court’s verdict threadbare.

Already Mumbai Cricket Association has held a meeting of its managing committee and accepted the SC verdict in toto, although they wanted some clarifications about the one state, one vote order.
