BCCI to convene for Special General Meeting on August 5

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has organised a Special General Meeting (SGM) with its affiliated members in Mumbai on August 5. With president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke scheduled to meet the Lodha panel on August 9 in New Delhi, the board will now discuss the the panel's recommendations that were ratified by a two-member bench of the Supreme Court. The board's lawyers are also expected to be present during the SGM.



"Yes, we have received an e-mail from the BCCI that there will be an SGM on August 5 at the Cricket Centre in Mumbai," a member of state unit told PTI on Tuesday (July 26). "The agenda is to discuss the implementation of the Supreme Court directives."

The court last week called for major changes in the structure and administration of the board and its affiliated state associations. The BCCI were also given a six month deadline to implement the changes. The major issues surrounding the implementations are expected to be discussed during the SGM so that the concerns can be conveyed to the committee by the president and secretary.

"I guess before meeting the Lodha panel in Delhi on August 9, the senior office-bearers will like to take the viewpoint of the senior state unit officials. One of the main bone of contention is the cumulative tenure part of 9 years for the office-bearers," a BCCI official said.
