24 state associations submitted compliance certificates, reveals COA

It has been reported that all 37 affiliated units of BCCI have been in communication with the governing body. Out of all, 24 states have already submitted their compliance certificates, although some of them are error-prone. 13 of them have stated that they have initiated the whole process. CoA conducted a meeting on Tuesday at the Mumbai Headquarters to discuss the whole matter in detail.

“We have received 24 Compliance Certificates from the state units. We will now have to scrutinise each and every compliance report. Initially, we have found out that some state units have not given proper compliance report. I won't name but a few units have even changed the template of the signed undertaking," a source close to the COA told PTI.

As per reports, there are certain affiliated units, whose new constitutions have been submitted with the company secretary. However, they are anticipating the court hearing as well, which will clear some of their issues not addressed by CoA. The CoA has been able to give a firm answer on whether the term of service for an office bearer will be for a cumulative period of nine years of 18 years.

“The fundamental mistake made by the COA has been to register the draft constitution without clearing the contradictions. There are certain state units that have sought clarification and there is a pending court hearing," a senior official of a state unit told PTI today.

"I believe it is the right of the state association to wait till the court hearing. Meanwhile, the process is on and every unit is on its way of adopting new constitution,” he added.

CoA has also checked in with the North-eastern states as to their experience with the senior cricket. They also took stock of Plate Group Vijay Hazare Trophy.
