BCCI stunned as CoA asks Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri to decide on WAGs travel

India TV News  

The bizarre move by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators asking the India captain and coach to decide on travel schedule of the WAGs has not just taken the Board of Control for Cricket in India officials by surprise, but also former Chief Justice R.M. Lodha panel's set of proposals was the yardstick for the formation of the new BCCI constitution, but the former CJI is surprised at how things have panned out in the last two years. Asked if the formation of the CoA actually helped, as even the BCCI office bearers seem to be surprised by some of the changes suggested by the committee, Lodha said: "It is a matter of interpretation and competence." I think the CoA is like an unfettered entity which has moved away from any limitations it may have originally perceived on account of the Supreme Court order on the Lodha Committee report. "Many decisions taken by them are in complete violation of not just the new BCCI constitution, but also in violation of the Lodha Committee report.
