The Justice RM Lodha reforms will be implemented in the next four-five months, said Vinod Rai, head of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators tasked with managing the affairs of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, PTI reported on Saturday.
“We would want to ensure the structure and system, as decided by the court, are put into place at the earliest,” Rai said, on the sidelines of an international conference on South Asia by the Institute of South Asian Studies, a Singapore think-tank.
“As far as BCCI is concerned, we will create a structure, we will create an accounting format, and we will ensure that certain systems are put in place by which governance of the BCCI in the future becomes smooth and as per the diktats of the report of the Lodha committee.
“It should not be a long process and the committee will be able to complete all this in about four to five months at the most.”
Rai added that cricket will continue to be played as according to the BCCI’s calendar.
“We are there to ensure the Lodha Committee reforms are implemented in full,” said Rai, adding that the court-appointed committee will be there till the next BCCI management committee is democratically elected after the implementation of reforms.
“We are in the process of examining to what extent the state associations have fulfilled the reform parameters and what is the undertaking they have given,” Rai added.
