The BCCI has said it unanimously adopted important recommendations made by the Lodha Committee at its Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai on October 1. Ozzie Newsome Jersey . However, the list the board said it had accepted did not include key recommendations such as the age cap of 70 years for board officials, the tenure cap of nine years with cooling-off periods in between, and the one-state-one-vote policy, among others.The BCCIs move would appear to be against the Supreme Court order, which said that all of the Lodha reports recommendations passed by the court on July 18 - and not a selection - would have to be adopted by the board.The SGM in Mumbai, which was originally supposed to be on September 30 but was adjourned on a technicality, lasted about six hours, at the end of which BCCI president Anurag Thakur said there were legal challenges and practical difficulties in accepting some recommendations of the Lodha Committee. Wherever they [members] find legal challenges and practical difficulties, they have given their viewpoints and have not accepted those recommendations, Thakur said. If you look at the overall structure of the BCCI, it is the members who form the board. As far as Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke [the board secretary] are concerned, we were there just to convene the meeting. It is up to the members to accept or reject. Weve invited members to adopt the Lodha recommendations and members have given their viewpoints.According to Thakur, representatives of every state association had attended the SGM except for Vidarbha, which had requested for a leave of absence. He said a detailed report would be submitted in the Supreme Court and sent to the Lodha Committee. [The report would be about] what the members have felt, and why they have accepted and not accepted a few recommendations.Although no one from the Lodha Committee was available for a comment, a senior lawyer, who has followed and been party to the BCCI case, did not agree with the boards stance. The Supreme Court has passed a judgement. Today the BCCI is saying there are parts of which we are rejecting. There is no question of accepting or not. The directive of the court to the BCCI is: you will adopt the amendments, the lawyer said. According to him the BCCIs defiance will further empower the court, which had already warned the BCCI more than once to fall in line.In a media release following the SGM, the BCCI listed the following among the recommendations they had accepted from the Lodha report:The induction of the representative of the Comptroller and Auditor General as the member of the Apex Council and the IPL Governing CouncilThe formation of the Apex Council - to replace the working committee, according to the Lodha report - with certain modifications. The Lodha report had recommended that only the BCCI president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer be part of the Apex Council but it is understood that the board was in favour of all the members of the working committee remaining a part of the Apex Council.Putting in place various committees as recommended by the Lodha Committee, including the special committee for the differently abled and the womens committee.The formation of the Players AssociationVoting rights for the Associate members as per the ICC guidelinesPuducherry (Pondicherry) to be granted associate membership in the BCCIA Code of Conduct for players and team officials, Anti-Doping Code, Anti-Racism Code, Anti-Corruption Code and Operational Rules for implementation for the next IPL seasonImplement player-agent registration normsAccording to the Lodha Committee, the decisions taken by the BCCI at its AGM - including the appointment of a five-member selection panel and the election of Shirke as secretary - on September 21 were contrary to the court order issued on July 18 by TS Thakur, the Chief Justice of India, and Supreme Court judge Ibrahim Kallifulla.The BCCI had been given one week from September 28 to respond in court to the status report filed by the Lodha Committee, which had recommended that the Supreme Court supersede the BCCIs top brass because they were impeding the implementing of the recommendations.The Committee had also taken exception to the BCCI announcing the SGM on September 30. The BCCI, Lodha said, was supposed to hold an executive general body meeting (EGM) by September 28, when it would adopt the new Memorandum of Association and Rules (MoA), the first step needed to adopt the recommendations of the Lodha Committee. Instead Shirke had written to the Committee on September 22 stating the BCCI would consider the amendments suggested at the SGM.The BCCI had also filed an application in the Supreme Court, pleading for the courts July 18 order to be suspended until it heard the boards review and curative petitions against the mandatory implementation of most of the Lodha Committees recommendations. The board had filed a review petition last month against the Supreme Courts order directing it to implement most of the recommendations. In the petition, the BCCI called the court order unreasoned and asked for the recusal of Chief Justice Thakur from its hearing. However, the petition has been lying in defect because the court raised technical objections to the petition and asked the BCCI to repair them.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. Odell Beckham Jr Youth Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Baker Mayfield Womens Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-David-Njoku-Jersey/ . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Watford will aim to continue their remarkable surge of form when they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Monday evening.Watford (2-1-2) started the season slowly under new manager Walter Mazzarri, picking up just one point from their first three matches and registering a disappointing EFL Cup loss to Gillingham in the second round. And at two goals down against West Ham United a fortnight ago there were serious concerns that Mazzarri may have been a poor appointment for the Hornets.However, a stunning comeback to win 4-2 in east London was followed by last weekends 3-1 demolition of Manchester United -- sending the team soaring up the table and creating a positive atmosphere within the talented group of players.A trip to newly promoted Burnley (1-1-3) would appear to give Watford a great chance of making it three wins on the spin, but Mazzarri is not taking Mondays opponents lightly.I have big respect for Burnley and theyre a strong team, the Italian said. Its a different type of game and not necessarily an easier game. We have big respect for Burnley and the way they play. They won against Liverpool and that shows they are strong. Thats what we need to reflect on and that they won against a big team like Liverpool.We just need to reflect and understand how they won and how well they played. Its a difficult away game and not an easy away match.Mazzarri is Watfords seventh head coach since the club dismissed current Burnley boss Sean Dyche in 2012. The Italian Pozzo family removedd Dyche soon after taking over at Watford in a decision that raised eyebrows at the time. Joe Thomas Browns Jersey. But the owners subsequent business model has seen a pattern of short-term managerial tenures and Dyche insists he wont be taking any grudges into this meeting.Its well-documented Ive always had respect for the club, Dyche said. The situation, the business changed, etcetera, etcetera, but I mean every word when I say I had a fantastic time there as player, youth coach, assistant manager and manager.Because business changes and you lose your job it doesnt mean I hold any baggage at all, I certainly dont. Its a lot of water under the bridge and theyve gone on to become a Premier League club so their model of working has worked for them.The colorful manager added:Theyre a different animal because theyve changed their manager yet again. Their model is completely different to most in football, but so far theyve got a good start so it seems to be working for them.This will be the first ever top-flight meeting between the two clubs. The result has been a draw on each of the last four times Watford and Burnley have met in lower tiers of English football.Watford will be without Daryl Janmaat and Stefano Okaka for the game, while Younes Kaboul and Jose Holebas are doubts.Burnleys only injury issue is over Ashley Barnes, who remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
