In the next two-three days, the committee will start its work and will submit its first report within a fortnight.

BCCI Working Secretary Amitabh Chaudhary told reporters after the meeting, "To ensure the implementation of the order of the Supreme Court, the BCCI will constitute a committee. On Tuesday, a committee of five-six members will be constituted, which will oversee the functioning of the Supreme Court order as soon as possible."

The issue of playing bilateral series with Pakistan was also discussed in the special general meeting. On being asked about the progress made in this direction, Chaudhary said that the conditions have remained the same and the possibility of any tour will be possible only after getting government permission.

"We have met the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the basis of the agreement made by the BCCI in 2014," Chaudhary said. It was also necessary. Our side is still the same. Only after getting government permission will there be a possibility of a visit."

The issue of Suspension of Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) was also discussed. In the meeting of the BCCI on Monday, former president N. Srinivasan also participated.

Now if the players on the cricket grounds do violence, misbehavior or wrong move, then the umpire can send them out. The ICC's Chief Executive Committee has approved the recommendations of the panel headed by Anil Kumble of India in the annual conference held in London this week.

The ICC has also decided that if the bowling team appeals to the LBW under the DRS and during this period the umpire's decision goes wrong, then its DRS will remain intact. DRS will now be used in T20 cricket too.

Other major changes in the laws adopted by the ICC are: - Now the depth of the bat and the core will be kept according to the ICC. Apart from this, if the batsman is inside the crease while running bat or diving, but he is picked up, then he will not be given out. All these rules of the ICC will come into force from October 1.

In March, MCC Cricket Chief John Stephenson had said, "The time has come that the punishment for the players' bad behavior should be imposed and the research shows that the emerging umpires at the grassroots are getting away from the game."

He said, "Hope that these sentences will give them greater confidence to deal with disciplinary matters and will also work to stop the players from doing so."

In the context of the run out, MCC said in the statement, "If the bat (caught in hand) or any body of the batsman crosses the crease and touches the ground and if the contact breaks when the wicket is dropped then the batsman will get rid of the run out, If he/she is running or jumping, he/she is going to the wicket. "At the same time, MCC had given this information on the wrong behavior:

Level 1: It involves excessive appeals and objections to the umpire's decision. The first official warning will be given, and then the penalty will be given to the opposing team of five penalty runs on second crime of level one.
Level 2: Throwing the ball towards the player or intentionally bodily contact with the opponent during the game. Under this, the opposition team will be given five penalty runs immediately.
Level 3: Threatening the umpire or threatening to kill any other player, team officer or viewer. Under this, the opposition team will get five penalty runs and the guilty players will be dropped out of the field for the due overs on the basis of match format.
Level 4: Bullying the umpire or doing any violent work on the field. Five penalty runs and the guilty player for the rest of the match is out of the match. If the player is batting at the time of the offense, then he will be considered retired out.

After Anil Kumble's resignation from the post of Team India's head coach, former captain Sunil Gavaskar's anger is not taking the name out of the pause. Gavaskar has asked to give cleanliness to those who believe that Anil Kumble was an unbearable man.

In an interview with NDTV, he said that this will benefit the new coach, who will know what he can and can not do. Gavaskar said, "Wait, what do they find wrong in Anil Kumble?"

He said, If I say that you have to reach for 9.30 a.m. then it will be unbearable. If I ask you to practice nets, take 50 caps or throw 20 balls more on the nets, then it is unbearable for the players. It is very important for a new coach because he will know what his place is?

When asked who is the boss - captain or coach? So he said that there is a captain boss on the field and outside the coach or team manager. These are the responsibility of preparing players.

Gavaskar said, Virat Kohli should keep his point before coming in. Kumble should also tell that who among the BCCI told him about the unhappiness of Virat. Kohli's statement will end the clouds of speculation. Which situation caused this situation? Gavaskar said, wait for what the players felt wrong in Kumble.

Gavaskar said that the meeting of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) to choose the coach was a waste of time.

He said that the captain and the players should ask who they want a coach. Gavaskar said, the captain and the team did not like the methods of Anil Kumble, so this situation was created. Players are on the West Indies tour, why not ask them whom you want a coach. If the CAC has 8-10 applications, then the player should tell who he wants a coach.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is contemplating to end the Champions Trophy. They are considering ending the Champions Trophy and getting two world T20 tournaments within four years.

The next edition of the Champions Trophy is to be held in India in 2021, but considering the increasing popularity of the game's small format (T-20), there is a doubt about the future of this tournament.

Cricinfo has written with ICC Chief Executive Officer David Richardson, "It is always difficult to differentiate between two tournaments of 50 overs. Now the World Cup is going to be 10 teams. In such a way, the Champions Trophy has almost become like the World Cup which I think is good."

He said, "I believe the World Cup is still a long tournament. The best four teams in the World Cup get a chance to play in the semi-finals. It does not have to be affected by rain-fed matches and one or two bad matches in the team as it is in the Champions Trophy."

He said, " By the way the Champions Trophy will or not in 2021 or there will be two World T20 tournaments instead, but there is ongoing discussion. Yes, but there is such a possibility. I can not say that this is going to happen because we saw that recently the Champions Trophy proved to be a good tournament, especially in Britain where you got to see the atmosphere in support of every team."

He said, so it is not hasty to finish it, but to be honest and clear, there is a discussion on bringing two World T20 tournaments during the four years. Richardson said, "In the four years, two World T20 tournaments will give us a chance to increase the game on a global scale. We can do this tournament of 16 or 20 teams."
