Implement positive suggestions of Lodha panel: Scindia

The MPCA had passed a unanimous resolution to follow BCCI decisions on Lodha panel

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) Chairman Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday said the "positive recommendations" of the Supreme Court appointed Justice (retd) R M Lodha Committee should be implemented immediately.

"BCCI has discussed the recommendations made by the Lodha Committee. Many of the suggestions made by this panel are positive and I wish they should be applied without delay," Scindia told reporters during a friendly cricket match held at Holkar Stadium here.

He added that some suggestions prescribed by the panel cannot be implemented immediately owing to the present structure and constitution of various cricket associations.

"We should put our difficulties and opinion before the apex court and the committee," the Congress leader said.

He said the Supreme Court, the Lodha panel and BCCI are on the same page. "We all want that a clear and transparent thinking gets developed in the field of cricket. All should work together to rectify previous mistakes," Scindia added.

The Guna MP said while immediate measures can be taken to adopt some recommendations of the panel, "but for some, we may need two-three months".

"It's the duty of BCCI and the cricket administrators like us to make others understand that some suggestions prescribed by the panel cannot be implemented immediately owing to the present structure and constitution of various cricket associations," Scindia added.

MPCA had passed a unanimous resolution to follow BCCI decisions on Lodha panel.
