Our stand on cooling off period has been vindicated, says BCCI on SC's observation

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court's observations, pushing aside the will for a cooling off period for BCCI office-bearers, came as a ray of hope nowadays for the embattled body, which mentioned its place towards the contentious Lodha committee reform stands vindicated.

"The Honourable judges heard our plea and made observations which has filled us with positivity. I feel now our (him and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry's) position is vindicated," BCCI appearing secretary Amitabh Chaudhary advised PTI on Thursday.

His feedback came in the wake of the Supreme Court's observation that cooling off period does now not seem necessary if the office-bearer is contesting for a unique place.

"What is the need of cooling off period when a person is not contesting for the same post?" requested CJI Dipak Misra.

"The Lodha panel suggestion was that there should be a cooling off period between two consecutive terms for an office-bearer. After a tenure in a particular post of BCCI, the office-bearer may contest for some another post. There is no need for a cooling off period in between," noticed Justice D Y Chandrachud.

It used to be appearing secretary Amitabh and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry, who had labored along member units, to lift the objectionable clauses in Lodha Reforms, taking inputs from them.

"We have to wait for the final order but I think there is a ray of hope for us that things will be in order. The Honourable court heard all our arguments on the objectionable clauses and we are grateful for that," Chaudhary mentioned.

Asked whether or not the clause on cooling off period and the age-cap of 70 years can be done away with, Chaudhary, who has of past due been at loggerheads with the Committee of Administrators, paradoxically mentioned: "Why don't you ask the CoA as to what they think about today's observations?"


In the draft charter submitted to the court, the eligibility for turning into a national selector has been set at 20 top quality fits.


If authorised, it might imply Jatin Paranjpe and Gagan Khoda, who had been got rid of from the senior variety panel, might come again. They had been got rid of for now not being Test cricketers


Jatin and Gagan had been paid their wage with none work as selectors can handiest be got rid of at the AGM.


In case the whole panel is got rid of at the AGM, they would possibly not make a comeback.
