NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket board's Committee of Administrators (CoA), led by Vinod Rai , said on Monday that the conflict of interest issue will be referred to an ethics officer, as there were several pending cases to be looked into. "If the ombudsman is appointed before that, he would be entrusted with the job of looking into these conflict of interest issues," a source added.Among other things, the CoA will aggressively push for the implementation of most of the Lodha committee 's reforms at the BCCI SGM in Mumbai on June 26.Sources said that if the board members are ready to adopt the administrative reforms without diluting the governance, the CoA would reconsider two reforms - one-state-one-vote and increasing the existing three selectors to five. "They would have to be agreeable to implement all the other reforms. It is only then that the two other clauses will be presented in the Su preme Court," a BCCI source said on Monday, while adding that CoA would be meeting the board officials on May 25 to chalk out the implementation plan.Sources also made it clear that the board officials will not have a say in deciding the next coach.After TOI reported earlier that CoA has told the board's officials not to pick team managers on an ad hoc basis to please different state associations, BCCI is all set to introduce a system to hire a contractual team manager post the West Indies tour.Like the coach's appointment, BCCI will soon come up with a process to select the manager for all tournaments.It was learnt that if the board-appointed manager for the Champions Trophy, Kapil Malhotra, has his travel documents in place, he could be asked to continue till the West Indies series. In that case, Milind Kanmadikar (from MPCA), who was picked as manager for the tour of West Indies, may have to wait.
