Supreme Court on Monday announced the names of BCCI new administrative panel thus snubbing the centre. The former CAG boss Vinod Rai will lead the 4 member panel that includes historian Ramachandra Guha, Vikram Limaye, Managing Director and CEO of IDFC, Diana Edulji, former India women's Test cricketer.
The new panel will over see thedaily operations of Board of Cricket Control for Cricket in India. The apex court bench, headed by Justice Dipak Mishra, also directed the CEO of BCCI, Rahul Johri, to report to the panel of administrators. The top court differed with the center of appointing a sports secretary to the BCCI.
The new panel formed will have no time bound or term period. It will study all the implementations and reforms and reports on what need to be done to carry BCCI operations. During the hearing BCCI didn't want to pay to the administrators, saying that its office-bearers are working free and the administrators must also work without any remuneration. The Supreme Court rejected it and said that the committee of administrators will have to be paid a 'respectable amount'.
The court said that it wants a professional set of administrators and ordered BCCI to come up with a proposal on payments to the newly appointed panel members.
