1. Infrastructure Development and Subsidy Committee formation.
2. Physiotherapists and trainers should follow certain guidelines when working with state teams.
3. ICC World Cup 2023 Working Group Formation.
4. The Women’s Premier League committee is being formed.
5. Approval of the policy against sexual harassment.
The formation of the Working Group is long overdue given that the World Cup is likely to start on October 5. The Group will probably be tasked with choosing the marquee event’s venues.
In addition to the existing list of BCCI special committees and subcommittees, the Women’s Premier League Committee and the Infrastructure Development & Subsidy Committee will be established.
These committees must therefore be appointed by the general body. During the allegations against former BCCI Chief Executive Rahul Johri. The absence of the Sexual Harassment Policy was brought to light.
The policy has been evolving since then. It will be interesting to see if the BCCI establishes minimum experience or qualification standards for the hiring of physiotherapists. And strength and conditioning coaches for the state team.
