The Board of Control for Cricket in India, BCCI today moved the Supreme Court seeking the release of funds for the first India-England Cricket Test at Rajkot from tomorrow. The BCCI was barred from releasing any funds till it gave an undertaking to the apex court that it would comply with the recommendations of the Lodha Committee.BCCI says non-disbursal will result in cancellation of India-England test tomorrow. The Lodha panel opposes the BCCI submission. It says the cricket body is in contempt by not obeying apex court directions. Earlier, the Supreme Court had on October 21 ordered a financial squeeze on BCCI funds to associations and had directed that unless the state associations passed a resolution to implement the reforms followed by an affidavit before the Lodha committee, they would receive no funds. The court had also asked BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke to file compliance affidavit in three weeks before the committee. Mr Thakur and Mr Shirke in their affidavits gave details of the meetings called by the BCCI and furnished copy of the minutes.
