The agenda for the first AGM of the BCCI under the new leadership has once again diverted attention away from the game to the politicking of the individuals who control this body.
While DDCA president Rajat Sharma in a press release stated that the appointments have been done as per Lodha Committee recommendations, the powers and scope of the committee has again given rise to questions on Conflict of Interest.
The original Lodha Committee reforms suggested only one term of three years before mandatory cooling off, but Thursday's order allows office-bearers two consecutive terms before the mandatory cooling off.
Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association life member Sanjeev Gupta has written to BCCI Ethics Officer D K Jain about Virat Kohli's business ventures and how that is in violation of the Lodha Panel recommendations.
Former CJI Lodha said that now that BCCI Ethics Officer D K Jain is there, he should take a stand and stop any move that is against the newly registered constitution as per the proposals of his panel.
The main fight during the three-day election will be between former cricketers Kirti Azad and Anshuman Gaekwad to become the male representative nominee to the apex council.
A senior BCCI functionary said that the whole idea of Rai writing a note to the ethics officer was wrong and killed the idea of the Lodha Panel proposing the appointment of an ethics officer to look into matters of conflict.
