TIL Desk Sports/ In the wake of Lodha Committee report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) brass on Wednesday said the cricket board is still “confused” over the kind of payments that can be made from the two bank accounts which had come under the scanner of the Supreme Court-appointed panel.
Sources in BCCI said the cricket board is awaiting the judgement of the Supreme Court on Thursday on the issue to get clarity on the subject, which is crucial for continuance of the ongoing series with New Zealand.
Amid the logjam, BCCI president Anurag Thakur on Wednesday wrote a letter to the state associations, saying “confusion” prevails over payments that the Board can make even after Justice (retd) Lodha had asked the banks to defreeze the accounts in the two banks — Yes Bank and Bank of Maharashtra.
“When the reports came in the media, the Lodha Committee clarified on 4.10.16 (yesterday) that bank accounts should be defreezed. The committee said only routine payments were to be permitted without specifying any guidelines on this. The banks asked the commission for these guidelines but they have not yet been given,” Thakur wrote.
