The Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai on Friday said there is no meeting planned to review India's performance in the World Cup. India, who were one of the favorites ahead of the World Cup, lost a close contest in the semi-final to New Zealand.

After the heartbreak in the World Cup, reports had emerged that there would be an official meeting with the captain and head coach to review India’s performances at the World Cup. However, with the team set to leave for the Caribbean on July 29, there is practically no time to hold such a meeting. 

"Where is the time to have a review meeting? The usual feedback from the support staff and manager's report is still awaited," Rai told PTI after a CoA meeting in New Delhi.

The Men in Blue will play three each of T20Is, ODIs and two Tests against the Windies. 

After the CoA meeting, Rai, Diana Edulji and Ravi Thodge left to meet Amicus Curiae PS Narsimha. Narsimha was appointed mediator by the apex court to resolve matters related to cricket administration in the country.

"Besides helping the CoA in ensuring timely state elections (September 14 deadline), the amicus curiae will also approach the Supreme Court on the matter related to conflict of interest," a BCCI official told PTI, reported TOI.

During the World Cup, the BCCI ethics officer DK Jain had ruled that VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly can only choose one out of their multiple cricketing roles, including commentary duties for the ICC. As per the BCCI constitution, one person is not allowed to hold multiple positions at the same time. However, instead of enforcing the order themselves, the CoA decided to approach the Supreme Court.
