What is the News?<\/h5>\n

The Supreme Court held that the three-year cooling-off period for BCCI office-bearers will kick in only after they complete two consecutive terms in the apex cricket body.<\/p>\n

About the ‘cooling-off period’ in cricket associations<\/h5>\n

The ‘cooling-off period’ was a major recommendation made by the Justice R.M. Lodha Committee to reform cricket administration in the country.<\/p>\n

In its 2018 judgment, the apex court had seen eye-to-eye with Justice Lodha’s conclusion that “the game will be better off without cricketing oligopolies”.<\/p>\n

The court introduced a cooling-off period to prevent an office-bearer from growing vested interests by occupying a position of power in a cricketing body for a long period.<\/p>\n

Earlier, an office-bearer who had completed a term in a State association and another in the BCCI had to comply with the cooling-off period requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the other modifications done by the court to cricket associations?<\/h5>\n

The BCCI proposed a few amendments that do not detract from the basic purposes\/objects of the Supreme Court’s 2018 judgment. So, the court accepted these modifications to the BCCI Constitution. These are,<\/p>\n

1) Cool-off period for State cricket associations<\/strong>: Office-bearers of State cricket associations need to cool off only after serving two successive terms. However, a State association office-bearer need not undergo the three-year hibernation if he or she wants to contest a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) election.<\/p>\n

A person who has finished two back-to-back tenures in office at a State association should take a three-year breather before contesting for a third time in that State association.<\/p>\n

2) <\/strong>Lifting the bar on office-bearers having posted in other sports bodies, 3)<\/strong> Removing the disqualification on office-bearers who have been charged with criminal offences. So, from now on the disqualification should only kick in after they are convicted and sentenced for the crime, 4) <\/strong>Disqualification from being an office-bearer is now restricted to government Ministers and public servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
