Vinod Rai

BCCI election to take place on October 22

Speaking after the meeting, Committee of Administrators chief Vinod Rai said that while the BCCI elections will be held on October 22, the apex council of the state associations will now have 19 members in place of nine as discussed with the Amicus Curiae.

COA chief Rai recommends 2-match ban on Pandya, Rahul

A two-match ban has been suggested for international cricketers Hardik Pandya and Lokesh Rahul for their alleged "sexist" comments during a talk show hosted by Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar after a row erupted over their remarks.

Cloud over coach

When it came to a Kohli-Shastri issue the COA put its tail between its legs and ran, alas Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur & Co are deemed children of a lesser God by a “committee” that is hardly answerable to anyone.

Scrap the COA

Would their Lordships permit another “tribunal” to function without someone having a casting vote? Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji should be removed by the same skewed diktat that had initially empowered them with authority they never deserved.

COA’s quandary

Ideally, the court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) should not have got bogged in a purely cricketing matter, but since like all judicially-imposed bodies it is guilty of over-reach it cannot duck a role in putting an end to a controversy that might even end the career of a celebrated star.
