The new constitution is in line with the reforms listed by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha Committee. Pursuant to the order of the Honorable Supreme Court of India dated 9th August 2018, The BCCI, through its CEO Rahul Johri, registered its new constitution as approved and directed by the Honorable Supreme Court with the Registrar of Societies of Tamil Nadu at Chennai, The BCCI said in a release. The CoA said that the state associations have to confirm to the judgment of the Supreme Court and report compliance within 30 days. The BCCI also reinstated former India players Gagan Khoda and Jatin Paranjpe as senior national selectors after both were removed in January last year from the selection panel for not being Test cricketers as per the requirement set by the Lodha committee. Both were, however, being paid as per their contract, as they could only be removed officially in the Board’s Annual General Meeting. Khoda and Paranjpe will re-join chief selector MSK Prasad, Sarandeep Singh and Devang Gandhi.
