The Committee of Administrators on Thursday completed 100 days in the job. According to Rai, “I am very realistic, because I don’t see a place for the CoA in the BCCI in the long term,” He added, “We want to provide a structure to the BCCI. It does not have one right now. It is run by individual styles. It is personality-oriented. We will put a structure in place and ensure that there are systems that will make this structure work,” The BCCI has seen a lot of reforms ever since the Committee of Administrators took over. BCCI President Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke were removed from their posts for failing to provide transparency in the day to day affairs of the board at the beginning of this year. On January 30, the apex court appointed Vinod Rai as the head of the four members Committee of Administrators. The committee also had noted historian Ramachandra Guha, IDFC Ltd’s managing director Vikram Limaye and former captain of the women’s cricket team Diana Edulji. It was said that they will function as the new interim bosses of the BCCI and run the day-to-day administration of BCCI till the Justice (retd.) R.M Lodha-led recommendations are fully implemented and elections are held. It is learnt that as many as 23 member associations have signed in favour of sending the team to Champions Trophy. Most among them are believed to follow the Lodha Recommendations. Already a few state associations like the Cricket Association of Bengal are working on the amendment of its constitution. Associations like the Tripura Cricket Association and Vidharbha Cricket Association has already implemented the Lodha reforms. Mr Rai is optimistic that the state associations will implement the Lodha recommendations by October.
