BCCI President Anurag Thakur on Wednesday claimed that the Board’s reservations regarding a few recommendations of the Justice Lodha Committee could not be conveyed as the panel has not given them time for a meeting in the last two months, PTI reported.
Speaking in Jaipur on Wednesday, Thakur said, “The matter is subjudice and I have full faith in the Indian judicial system. We have called meetings time and again to implement Justice Lodha committee recommendations. More than 85 per cent recommendations have been implemented.”
“The members do not agree on the implementation of three-four recommendations as they are not practical. To convey this, we sought time but the committee is not giving us time for the last two months,” he added.
Thakur further said: “Before the recommendations, we have brought many reforms in the BCCI which is the best run organisation in the world today. Our teams have performed well in so many tournaments.
“We are the number one team in Tests, number two in T20s and number three in ODIs. Look at the performance of our junior team where they have reached the finals of the Asia Cup. Our womens team have won the Women’s Asia Cup.
“So where are shortcomings? Pressure is being created unnecessarily on us,” he added.
