NEW DELHI: For fear of losing a sizeable sum if a 15-day gap between the Indian Premier League ( IPL ) and the domestic/international calendar is implemented, the BCCI office-bearers have told the Committee of Administrators (CoA), in a recently-held meeting in the Capital, that Justice (retired) RM Lodha panel's recommendation can't be honoured till 2023.Sources told TOI that the board officials expressed their helplessness over not being able to offer any solution to this problem because the Future Tour Programme (FTP) involving international teams is already drawn.Sources added that an unhappy CoA chairman Vinod Rai asked the officials why the BCCI didn't take the issue up at the recent BCCI SGM where Lodha reforms were discussed. "They all remained silent when Rai raised the issue with board officials. The minutes of the CoA-BCCI meeting will now be handed over to the Supreme Court. It may also figure in the status report which may not be good news for the BCCI," a source said.
