Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) virtually told Justice Lodha Committee yesterday that it would not be able to implement Supreme Court- directed reforms in cricket administration because of the resistance from state cricket bodies. In an affidavit sent through e-mail to Justice Lodha committee secretary Gopal Sankaranarayanan, the BCCI said that all its efforts, including stoppage of funds, have failed to make its member associations fall in line. Though couched as helplessness, the affidavit marks the clearest-yet announcement by the BCCI that Supreme Court's insistence on reforming cricket administration will not be heeded. It tosses the ball back in the judicial arena and the response of the apex court would be worth watching.The board said it had held two meetings and all its members unanimously voted against the agenda item for implementation of reforms. Unless three-fourth of the member associations vote in favour of the proposal, the BCCI cannot implement the reforms as ordered by the Justice Lodha panel," the affidavit said.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
