The India Vs England matches to go on smoothly under the supervision of BCCI CEO Rahul Johri.
All queries from state associations will be answered as FAQ's (Frequently asked Questions).
The committee will not give any directions on subjudice issues i.e. RCA and HCA cannot hold elections as the matter is subjudice.
The committee feels the selectors of Indian cricket team need to have played test cricket, more clarity in a day or two will be revealed.
Following the Supreme Court verdict on January 2, the BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke was sacked. The old guard of the board tried to stall operations and create some level of confusion.
On January 6, former joint secretary Amitabh Choudhary delayed the selection meeting after questioning its legality. The Lodha Panel had to intervene and categorically state that BCCI CEO Rahul Johri would convene the meeting.
It was then that the selectors named squads for India's limited-overs series against England and officially named Virat Kohli captain after MS Dhoni relinquished his position.
In another development the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, in complete defiance of the Supreme Court order, sent out a letter with N Srinivasan still being mentioned as its president in its letterhead and said it would be unable to host under-19 matches involving India and England in February.
Meanwhile, 21 state associations agreed to adopt the Lodha reforms and approached the panel with certain queries. To address all these concerns, the committee met today in New Delhi.
After several hours, the panel announced that cricket would go on as usual and Jorhi, as the BCCI CEO, was to ensure that all matches were played as scheduled.
