The Supreme Court has accepted most of the Lodha Committee recommendations covering wide-ranging aspects of the game in India, with special focus on the BCCIs administrative and governance structures and the issue of transparency. The court has given the BCCI six months to implement the recommendations and appointed RM Lodha, the former chief justice of India who was the architect of the report, to oversee the transition.The order was delivered by the two-judge bench comprising TS Thakur, chief justice of India, and Justice Ibrahim Kalifulla, which has been hearing the case since January this year.The BCCI counsel KK Venugopal told the court that his client will show greatest respect in implementing the judgment. BCCI president Anurag Thakur offered no comment because he said he wanted to study the order first. Rajeev Shukla, the IPL chairman, said the BCCI would respect the judgement and discuss the procedure for implementation in the next meeting. Since it is the apex court of the country (and) if they have endorsed the recommendations of the Lodha panel then obviously you respect the court. We will definitely discuss all those issues, how it can be implemented.Reacting to the court order, Lodha said he hoped it would be a positive influence on the game. Great day for Indian cricket and Indian sport, think cricket fans should rejoice the verdict of SC, he told ANI.The most important set of recommendations announced by the Lodha Committee in January this year were aimed at transforming the entire power structure in the board. It sought to change the BCCIs electorate to one association per state - some states have three - and removed the vote from associations without territorial definitions (e.g., Railways and Services).It suggested clear and stringent eligibility criteria for the boards office-bearers and set limits to their time in office. Ministers and bureaucrats currently holding office were not to be allowed to hold positions on the board, nor would those holding positions in their state associations or those above 70 years of age. That could rule out a host of current office-bearers.The Lodha Committee had recommended there be five elected office-bearers - president, secretary, one vice-president instead of the current five, treasurer and joint secretary - and they would serve a maximum of three terms of nine years each across positions. Also, they would not be able to serve two consecutive terms - each must be broken by a cooling-off period. The presidents powers were also curbed by the recommendations: he no longer has an additional vote at meetings, nor does he have a say in team selection.The Lodhas report had also recommended that the Working Committee, the BCCIs highest decision-making body, be replaced with a nine-member Apex Council, which will include representatives from the players community - including one woman. There would also be a nominee of the Comptroller and Auditor General, presumably to keep an eye on how the boards vast resources were being utilised.There was also a big push for transparency, with the recommended appointment of three independent officials - an ombudsman, which the BCCI has already appointed, an ethics officer and an election officer - to look into the three contentious areas within the BCCI: conflict of interest, dispute resolution and election processes. It also set high eligibility criteria for each, to ensure their independence.The panel - comprising Lodha and retired Supreme Court judges, Ashok Bhan and R Raveendran - had been formed in January 2015 to determine appropriate punishments for Raj Kundra, Gurunath Meiyappan and their respective franchises; decide on Ramans role in the IPL 2013 scandal, and propose changes to the BCCIs functioning to streamline its functions and prevent sporting fraud and conflict of interest.More to follow ...

NEW YORK -- Thanks to injuries to two opponents, Novak Djokovic did not exactly need to put in much work to reach the U.S. Opens fourth round for the 10th consecutive year.So it made sense that the defending champion and No. 1 seed would spend extra time practicing in Arthur Ashe Stadium under the watchful eye of coach Boris Becker on Friday after spending a grand total of 31 minutes of match time on court over the second and third rounds.This particular situation I never had in my Grand Slam career. But considering the stage of the season, the amount of matches Ive played, what Ive been through with my body, I think its actually good to have some days off and then shorter matches, from one side, Djokovic said. From the other side, sure, as you are approaching second week of the Grand Slam, you want to have match play and you want to have time spent on the center court before you face one of the top players.Yes, Djokovic got another free pass at Flushing Meadows, advancing this time when Mikhail Youzhny stopped because of a strained left hamstring while trailing 4-2 after a little more than a half-hour of play.Youzhny received treatment from a trainer early on, getting his left leg wrapped, but briefly tried to continue. After holding serve in the sixth game, closing it with an overhead putaway up at the net, the Russian -- a semifinalist in New York in 2006 and 2010, and a former top-10 player now ranked 61st -- shook his head and told the chair umpire he couldnt keep going.Ill take it, Djokovic said. Im moving on and focusing on the next one.Djokovic did not play at all on Wednesday, when the man he was supposed to face in the second round, Jiri Vesely, withdrew from the tournament a couple of hours before that match because of inflammation in his left forearm.Theres plenty of things to work on. Thats the beauty of spport: Every day is different.dddddddddddd The challenge is every day you feel different on the court. I work more or less on every aspect of my game, Djokovic said.The first week of a Grand Slam, obviously, things are not 100 percent, so you are getting a way through the tournament. I didnt get too much of match play, Djokovic said. Ill try to get on the practice court once more.And that he did, changing out of his white collared match shirt into a gray T-shirt and getting in about an hour of training. As Becker stood nearby, tossing over tennis balls, Djokovic hit serve after serve. Then he hit return after return of serves from a practice partner.A few hundred fans remained in the stands at Ashe, enjoying that rare chance for an up-close look at a man who has won 12 Grand Slam titles, including two at the U.S. Open and two this year. Plenty of cellphone photos were taken.Djokovic arrived in New York with a sore left wrist. But in his first-round victory way back on Monday, he experienced problems with his right arm. He was massaged by a trainer after only five games, then repeatedly shook that arm or flexed his elbow and grimaced following serves, some of which were far slower than he usually hits. He also dropped a set in an opening-round Grand Slam match for the first time since 2010.The arm is doing very well. Everything ... is going in the right direction, Djokovic said Friday. I feel significantly better now than I (did) at the beginning of the tournament.On Sunday, maybe hell finally get a chance to test how he feels. He will be scheduled to play 84th-ranked Kyle Edmund of Britain for a spot in the quarterfinals.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrichBlack China NFL JerseysCheap NFL JerseysCheap Jerseys From ChinaNFL Jerseys ChinaWholesale NFL Autographed JerseysWholesale Throwback JerseysCheap Jerseys Online ' ' '
