BCCI Apex Council meeting to be held on March 2 to decide fate of several domestic tournaments
Xtra Time Web Desk : The BCCI Apex Council which will meet virtually on March 2, will play a pivotal role in deciding the fate of CK Naydu Trophy and Senior Women's T20, which were earlier postponed due to COVID-19. The meeting will also discuss matters upon forming the Local Organising Committee for 2023 ODI World Cup.
Ranji Trophy too was postponed but with the case load coming down, the BCCI decided to organise the premier domestic event from February 17. The first round was completed on Sunday.
The 14-point agenda for the meeting includes the organisation of these two domestic events with COVID-19 situation getting better across the country.
Also on the agenda, which is in PTI's possession, is the formation of LOC for the 2023 ODI World Cup. The T20 World Cup last year could not take place in India due to the pandemic but the BCCI is looking forward to hosting another major ICC event next year.
The allotment for the five-match T20 series against South Africa in June will also be decided.
Central contracts of men and women cricketers will be ratified and so will be the first-of-its-kind sexual harassment policy of the BCCI.
The hosting fee hike for state associations is also on the agenda and so is the appointment of a Sports Science head at the National Cricket Academy. The order passed in case of representation of Purvanchal Cricket Association will be ratified as well.
