Justice R. M. LODHA… dismantling the BCCI oligarchy.
It is ironical that at a time when Indian cricket should be nursing a feel-good vibe,it is grappling with the uncertainty that has gripped the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Virat Kohli’s men top the charts in the ICC rankings, especially in Tests, but with the Supreme Court sacking the BCCI’s leading officials, president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke, on January 2, cricket news is now tragically couched in legal jargon.
The Supreme Court’s public repudiation of the BCCI stemmed from the Board’s seeming reluctance to implement the reforms suggested by the Lodha Committee. While the Supreme Court will usher in a panel of administrators, who will oversee the BCCI’s transition to a transparent and rule-adhering body, the Board’s ousted officials are busy mulling over propping up proxies and somehow retaining their power.
