The BCCI is unlikely to comply with the Supreme Court demand that it submit, on Friday, an undertaking saying it will unconditionally implement all the court-approved recommendations of the Lodha Committee. In the absence of such an agreement from the BCCI, the Supreme Court had indicated it would pass an order on Friday to replace the boards office bearers with a panel of administrators.A top BCCI office bearer told ESPNcricinfo there was no way the board could submit such an undertaking at short notice and without the approval of its member associations. Who am I to submit the undertaking? he said. The question arises only if the states agree to these recommendations. How can BCCI office bearers decide what members will implement?I can only bring members to the meeting room; I cant force them to adopt recommendations. They said they couldnt adopt the recommendations in entirety. What can the office bearers do in this situation? I dont even have a vote.When asked about the BCCIs next course of action, he said: We will wait for tomorrows order. What else can we do? How can this be done in such short notice? Till the time I have nothing in writing, how can I ask the states?Let the order come, we will make an official statement.Several state association officials ESPNcricinfo had spoken to recently confirmed they were waiting for the BCCIs decision on the recommendations before making amendments to their constitutions, as mandated by the first set of timelines laid down by the Lodha Committee. However, after the special general meeting on September 30, many of these state associations closed ranks ostensibly on the advice of BCCI. Only Vidarbha and Tripura decided to implement the recommendations approved by the court.The official said the Supreme Court should have passed an order if the recommendations were to be non-negotiable. What do they mean by a timeline [for implementation of reforms]? Why didnt Supreme Court pass an order under Article 142 [of the constitution] if they wanted to make it compulsory? Why are they saying that members should opt for the recommendations? These recommendations are forced upon us. They dont understand the genuine compulsions that prevent us from implementing the reforms.Desh Gaurav Sekhri, a sports law expert, said Article 142 gave the Supreme Court authority to pass a decree or make an order as necessary towards doing complete justice in a matter. What is relevant to the current situation is that it gives the Supreme Court the power to punish contempt of court, and it has been used for that purpose in the past, he told ESPNcricinfo. The nature of this stand-off being unprecedented, the exact law and/or regulations that the Supreme Court invokes were it to pass an order on October 7 are not clear as of now. Invoking Article 142 would be an extremely serious step by the court, and would take this matter into a space from which conciliation or compromise may no longer be an option for either party.Another BCCI office bearer admitted the board could have been less confrontational in its approach, referring to the tardiness in responding to the Lodha Committees correspondences. This could have, and should have, definitely been handled better.The latest developments in the tussle between the BCCI and the Lodha Committee took place in the Supreme Court on Thursday. The court was hearing the BCCIs response to the status report filed by the Lodha Committee last week, which recommended that the BCCI office bearers be superseded because they were impeding the implementation of the recommendations passed by a Supreme Court order on July 18.Matt Szymanski Jersey Retro .

Alfonso Boone Jersey Retro . PETERSBURG, Fla.England face their longest and busiest home season next year, followed by an Ashes tour to Australia, and managing the workload of players and coaching staff will be at the forefront of the teams planning.Trevor Bayliss, the England head coach, confirmed there have been discussions about him taking a break at some stage over the next six months while other members of the backroom staff will also be given the opportunity to rest. Australias head coach, Darren Lehmann, missed the recent tri-series in the West Indies and in 2014 Bayliss himself stood in for Lehmann during a T20 series against South Africa.We have spoken about in the next six months different staff members having a series off here and there, including myself, Bayliss said. That hasnt been finalised just yet but with the staff as well its day-in, day-out, a 24-hour job, it may not seem like it at times but you are always thinking about the cricket. Theres always someone on the phone to you. Its important that the staff get a decent place as well.Players are often reluctant to concede their place but particularly those who play all three formats face a gruelling schedule. After Pakistans tour, England are due to visit Bangladesh - although that tour is now in doubt after the terrorist attacks in Dhaka - and then there are five Tests in India before Christmas.They return to India in January for three ODIs and three T20Is, then have a short tour of the West Indies from late February for three more ODIs - that trip could be a potential opportunity for Bayliss break. After West Indies there is a brief pause before Englands home season starts on its earliest-ever date of May 5 with ODIs against Ireland.ddddddddddddSouth Africa then arrive - their tour split by the Champions Trophy - before a full visit by West Indies concludes the 2017 summer which ends on September 29. Ashes tours normally begin around mid-to-late October.England have rested Joe Root, Alex Hales and Moeen Ali - three of the players to appear in the three formats - for the one-off T20I against Sri Lanka at the Ageas Bowl. When fit Ben Stokes is another who would feature in Tests, ODIs and T20Is. Jonny Bairstow and James Vince are now also part of the squad in all formats.Paul Farbrace, the assistant coach, has previously spoken about the depth England now have available without weakening the side - particularly in reference to the one-day side - and while Bayliss said in his mind he was fairly close to knowing his strongest group of players for the Champions Trophy next summer the bench strength would come in useful.That will be on a case-by-case basis going forward, keeping a bit of an eye on the players, Bayliss said. If they are showing any signs of fatigue we will try to find some way of giving them a bit of break. It certainly is an issue these days in the international game. We have a group of players so it is a chance for some of those guys to get a game in the next 12 months and be waiting in the wings if we need them. ' ' '
