Bihar Cricket Association to hold meeting soon

However, BCA treasurer Ram Kumar said the SC order will have an immediate impact on BCCI. "It's not clear if any state office-bearer, who is a minister, will also have to resign. Whatever may be the guidelines, justice has been done to Bihar after long legal battles. Thanks to Lodha Committee!" he said.
However, BCA joint secretary Mrityunjay Tiwary, who took the Bihar fight to different fora for a long long time said we would now also be eligible for our share in the Board's grants, which will help us build infrastructure in our state and revamp the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium in Patna.
"We respect the Supreme Court verdict. As per the Lodha recommnedations, Bihar is now a full member of the BCCI, which means that we're eligible to vote in the Board elections, and we can play in the Ranji Trophy from this season itself, which is the best news for our cricketers," Tiwary told TOI. "We will hold our managing committee meeting soon to study the SC verdict. We'll act according to the BCCI directives and as per the guidelines of the SC verdict," he added.
BCA secretary Ravi Shankar Singh said he was waiting for a copy of the verdict. Singh, who was earlier the BCA treasurer, may have to quit his post as per the new guidelines. "I think, the guidelines are applicable only to those state office-bearers who want to contest the BCCI election," he said.
However, former India youth team captain Amikar Dayal said the Lodha Committee should have reserved the president and secretary posts of the cricket body for cricketers only.
"Fine that an office-bearer, who is also a minister, will have to resign. But it's not applicable to the MLAs and MPs! Had the decision-making posts been reserved for former cricketers, bureaucrats and ministers along with other politicians would have been automatically ruled out," Amikar said.
