Former Chief Justice of India, R.M. Lodha, submitted his report on the various aspects of reforms in the BCCI to the Supreme Court on Monday.

In one key recommendation, the Lodha panel recommends separate governing bodies for the IPL and BCCI.

The report culminates the panel’s exhaustive investigations into how the game is run in the country and what could be done to ensure that transparency and accountability is the rule and not the exception in the administration of cricket in India.

Speaking to The Hindu early last year, shortly after he was appointed committee chairperson, Justice Lodha had expressed his firm commitment to cricket in its pristine form. “We [the committee] know there is huge public expectation resting on us. We will ensure the game is played in its best spirits. We will do our best,” Justice Lodha said.
