BCCI president Anurag Thakur has submitted a report to the Lodha Committee on Saturday, saying the boards members have rejected adopting in total the new memorandum of association and rules. Thakur informed the committee that the 30 members opted to instead vote separately for or against each of the committees recommendations, which were approved by the Supreme Court of India on July 18 this year.Thakurs report, sent via email, was filed two days after the prescribed deadline (November 3) set by the Supreme Court of India in its interim order passed on October 21; the court had asked Thakur and BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke to file an affidavit with the committee within two weeks, indicating which of the Lodha Committees recommendations have been complied with, the manner of compliance and the steps adopted for securing compliance with the remaining recommendations.It could not be confirmed whether Shirke, too, had sent a similar report to the committee. In its order, the court also said that both Thakur and Shirke should appear in person in front of the committee to explain the manner of compliance once their report had been filed.In his report, Thakur told the committee that at a special general body meeting of the board, held in Mumbai on October 1, Shirke proposed to the members that the new memorandum of association and rules, finalised by the committee and mandated by the court, be adopted completely.Thakur said he had seconded Shirkes proposal. All the members, however, rejected this proposal , Thakur noted in his affidavit. The members further went on to state that while they were not averse to adopting the new memorandum, they had difficulties in adopting the same in totality.Thakur pointed out that neither he nor Shirke held a vote and, despite being armed with the court order, he could not force the members. The reasoning offered by the members was that since the BCCI is registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, it can amend the memorandum only when three-fourths of the eligible members voted in favour of changing it.I am thus rendered totally incapable and without any authority to force the members, who are 30 in number and have voting rights under the statute, to adopt the entire memorandum as proposed for adoption by the Hon. Lodha Committee, Thakur said.The affidavit was submitted alongside the unauthorised draft minutes of the boards SGM on October 1.According to Thakur, at an informal meeting of the board, held in Delhi on October 15, Shirke cautioned the members saying if the reforms were not adopted the court would curtail all funds to the states. Even that, Thakur told the committee, failed to change the members opinions. In view of the above difficulties, the Committee may be pleased to consider issuing any further directions to Hon. President and Hon. Secretary in this regard, Thakur concluded.Although there was no official reaction from the committee on Saturday, earlier in the week it had already predicted such a response form the board. In the absence of the unambiguous and unequivocal letter of compliance from the President duly undertaking on behalf of BCCI to unreservedly comply with the order of Honble Supreme Court dated 21.10.2016, the Committee anticipates (having regard to the consistent stance adopted by the BCCI that it has issues with regard to reforms concerning governance) that there would be impediments in carrying out the order dated 21.10.2016, the committee said in an email to Thakur on October 29.In three emails sent on October 24, 29 and November 3, the committee had reminded the BCCI that an undertaking form Thakur to unequivocally comply with the courts October 21 order was mandatory. Without that the committee cannot issue directions to the board on various pending decisions, including setting a new date for the IPL media rights tender, and determining the threshold value for any financial transaction of the board relating to future contracts.The Lodha Committee - comprising former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha and retired Supreme Court judges Ashok Bhan and R Raveendran - was formed in January 2015 to determine appropriate punishments for some of the officials involved in the 2013 IPL corruption scandal, and also to propose changes to streamline the BCCI, reform its functioning, prevent sporting fraud and conflict of interest.

BEREA, Ohio -- Theres one loss Browns coach Hue Jackson doesnt have to fear this season: his job.Despite a 0-10 start and the prospect of going winless in his first year with Cleveland, Jackson has the support of owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, who believe they hired the right coach to turn around their floundering franchise.We are not focused on 0-16, said Sashi Brown, the teams vice president of football operations. Hue is going to be here as our head coach. We talked about continuity being one of the core premises of what we wanted accomplished going out in January. We know that we have a head coach that can be successful here and lead us to a lot of victories and a lot of winning.That appears to be a long way off for the young Browns, whose progress this season has been muted by the worst start in team history and some key injuries.To his credit, Jackson has kept the Browns playing hard and he feigned some surprise when he was told that Brown had acknowledged he will be back for a second season.I never thought I was going anywhere, he said with a smile. I know thats been part of the plan since Day 1, before I took the job. I felt very comfortable. I know there has been a lot of mudslinging going around, but I get it. Thats part of it when you have the record that we do, I expect things to be said. But we are comfortable and we know exactly what were trying to do.I think its a tremendous plan. We all support it. Its not where we want it to be, but we do have a plan in place that we feel very strongly that were going to get things headed in the right direction as soon as we can.Brown, whose promotion from team general counsel and salary-cap expert to the top spot in Clevelands front office preceded Jacksons hiring by 10 days, met with media members for the first time this season. Brown understands that Browns fans are frustrated at the lack of significant progress, but said the team has no regrets about any decisions to this point and intends to exercise patience in seeing the plan through.Its hard to look at this other than wins and losses, he said. Im disappointed for our fans and the folks here working in the office. We dont want to be here. But we also think were on the way to a much brighter future.Theres no easy fix for the Browns, whoo host rival Pittsburgh on Sunday, when thousands of noisy Steelers fans will make Clevelands FirstEnergy Stadium feel like Heinz Field.ddddddddddddBoth Brown and Jackson acknowledged the losing has many in the organization on edge. But they each rejected a report that said the coachs decision to bench rookie Cody Kessler in the second half of Thursday nights loss at Baltimore has created tension between the front office and coaching staff.I do have a tension headache, Jackson joked. My head hurts.I dont know where any of that comes from. I have never felt that, heard that, any of that. Like I said, my head does hurt from time to time when we lose, and that is about it. The things we do here, I am the head coach of the football team and I will make decisions sometimes based on what I think is right. Sometimes, that is just part of it, but I have not heard that, felt that or seen that from anybody in our organization.They have been outstanding in their support of me and what we are trying to accomplish here.Publicly, at least, Brown said he has no regrets about any decisions. The Browns passed up taking quarterback Carson Wentz in the draft, trading the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia for a first-rounder next season. Brown also doesnt bemoan the choice not to re-sign any free agents, preferring to stay focused on the future, not the past.And while the poor record shows scant progress, Brown believes the team is on the right path.The winning ways are coming, he said. Were confident in that. We just have to stick to the plan and support our fans through that process.Game notes Quarterback Robert Griffin III, out with a broken bone in his left shoulder since the opener, could be back before the end of this season. Griffin has been on injured reserve but is now eligible to return. Once he practices, the Browns have 21 days to decide whether to place him on the active roster. Hes getting closer, Jackson said. Griffin signed a two-year, $15 million contract with Cleveland in March. He is due a $750,000 roster bonus after this season.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL T-shirts Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
