Welcoming the hearing, retired Justice Lodha said: “The reforms were laid down on July 18, BCCI was bound to follow it but they didn’t. Hence consequences had to follow. This was to happen, and now this has happened. Had submitted three reports before Supreme court, even then it wasn’t implemented. Once [the] committee’s reforms were accepted by the SC in its July 18 order, it had to be implemented, this is logical consequence. It’s a victory for the game of cricket. Administrators will come and go and I am sure the game will flourish.”
The three-member Lodha Committee had been appointed by the SC in 2015 to recommend reforms to the BCCI and all its affiliated state-level cricket associations. This had come in the aftermath of the match fixing scandal in the IPL that saw two teams banned from the league for two years.
