The Board of Control for Cricket in India has rejected some of the Indian Supreme Court's key recommendations aimed at administrative reform, "a move that could bring sanctions from the country's highest judicial body," according to Sudipto Ganguly of REUTERS. The court accepted in July most of the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, a three-member panel it "set up to look into the operations of the world's richest cricket board, which is run by politicians and businessmen and has been criticized for a perceived lack of transparency." The BCCI, after a special general meeting on Saturday, said in a statement that it had adopted "important recommendations" made by the committee but made no mention of the age and tenure recommendations nor a "one state/one vote" policy. The BCCI said it would "not be able to provide a 15-day gap" between the India team's matches and the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament in '17, as per the recommendations, as the Champions Trophy in England is scheduled around the same time (REUTERS, 10/2).
