BCCI working committee to meet on October 18

Mumbai: The previously adjourned meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) powerful working committee has been set for October 18 here and will see many crucial issues confronting the members.

The earlier working committee meeting of August 28 was adjourned after deciding to seek the opinion of the Supreme Court on whether N. Srinivasan could attend BCCI meetings as the authorised representative of Tamil Nadu Cricket Association despite his conflict of interest issue.

Shashank Manohar, who was unanimously elected last Sunday as the new president after the sudden demise of incumbent Jagmohan Dalmiya, is expected to tell members in detail about the slew of reforms he announced at a media conference soon after his appointment.

Manohar had announced the setting up of an ombudsman or ethics officer, among many other things, with a view to cleaning up the BCCI and making its workings transparent.
