"SCA respects the Supreme Court's verdict and is keen to implement the Lodha panel recommendations. We four are not eligible for holding the post and are now out of the SCA," said Niranjan Shah.
"SCA's governing body will meet within next eight to 10 days to fill the vacant posts," Shah said.
Shah said that SCA has lot to do in terms of developing infrastructure in Saurashtra region.
"We have done well to improve cricketing infrastructure in Saurashtra region, but still the SCA has to develop grounds in other districts in the Saurashtra region," Shah said.
