The Committee, on Monday, said the letter would be necessary before it issues directives to the BCCI to take the tender process forward.The bids for television and digital rights were set to be opened and finalised on Tuesday in Mumbai. A senior BCCI official confirmed receipt of the committees email.Last week, the Supreme Court passed an order that limited the financial freedom of the BCCI until the board and its state associations comply with the Lodha Committees recommendations. One of the directives in the order was that the Lodha Committee would set a threshold value for various contracts the BCCI enters into, and all contracts in excess of that amount would need the Committees approval. The Committee was also asked to appoint an independent auditor to oversee contracts from the tender stage.Soon after the court passed the order on October 21, the BCCI contacted the Lodha Committee on Friday seeking clarification regarding the bidding for the IPLs rights. When there was no response, the BCCI sent another email on Saturday checking whether its first email had been received, and then another email on Monday requesting a response because the board had to communicate to the bidders for the rights.

In addition, Thakur and BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke were asked to submit an affidavit of compliance in the court by December 3, elaborating on the recommendations the BCCI said it had already implemented, and what it had done to persuade the state associations to adopt the recommendations.Following its email to the Lodha Committee, the BCCI also sent an email to the 18 prospective bidders on Sunday, saying it was awaiting directions from the Committee. In the note, the board informed the bidders that all the Invitation To Tender documentation related to the process had been sent to the Committee. The bidders were also told that the BCCI would update them of the future course of action based on the advice received from the committee.The Lodha Committee had questions for the BCCI in its email, regarding the end date of the current cycle of IPL rights and the start date for the next one.In your letter dated 21.10.2016, the first paragraph reads as follows: 1) The BCCI has already declared the process of a global tender for the IPL rights, where the previous ten-year rights contract ended with the end of IPL season May 2016, as it was mandated to do so by the expiring contract.The Committee has 2 specific questions in this regard: a.

When does the next ten-year rights period commence?The rights in the current cycle are held by Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI) and will expire after IPL 2017.

David Warner has defended his use of thick, lightweight bats, and said he believed flat pitches were a more significant factor in any perceived imbalance between bat and ball in Test cricket.Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting recently argued for greater regulation of bat depth and weight - at present only a bats length and width are restricted - in the long form, a call that found support from fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. Ponting will be at the MCCs World Cricket Committee meeting at Lords next week, and he said bat size would be part of the discussion.The Gray Nicolls Kaboom bats used by Warner are notable for the extreme thickness of their edges, but they are made of a lightweight wood that makes them deceptively easy to wield. Warner said there were downsides to using such bats, including the greater likelihood of being caught off a leading edge, and he said the state of pitches had a greater say in determining scores.If we look around the country, I think the wickets are pretty much dictating, Warner told reporters in Sydney on Friday. A lot of batsmen are scoring a lot of runs, there have been a lot of runs scored in the last 12 to 18 months; you cant specifically come out and say it is the big bats, because everyone around the country and around the world is scoring a lot of runs. In my mind it is a credit to the bat maker.Ponting argued that restrictions to bat size should only occur in the longer form of the game and thick, lightweight bats should be allowed tto remain in one-day and Twenty20 cricket.

In those shorter forms, he said, spectators expected to see plenty of boundaries and entertaining batting, but in Test cricket it was more important to ensure the balance between bat and ball was as fair as possible.If people think that it is becoming an unfair advantage they will speak their opinions, but we are getting bigger and stronger and are capable of using bats that are a bit heavy, Warner said. In Test matches I use a smaller bat unless we are playing in the subcontinent, where I use a heavier bat. My bigger bats might be a lot larger than other players bats, but it is still the same cleft of wood.Australia coach Darren Lehmann said the size of bats were just about right, but also expressed safety concerns for bowlers at nets.Where they [the size of bats] are at now, is about right, maybe a little bit less, Lehmann said. They will certainly make it stock standard for everyone. The edges are too big on some of the bats.I see health and safety as a big issue, especially more so in the nets. To be fair, bowlers and net bowlers in the nets are a real worry for us. The way they hit them now, they are stronger athletes - they hit them harder, there is no doubt about that. It [injuries] are going to happen somewhere, hopefully it doesnt, but you have just got to be mindful of all that.
