The BCCImaintained its defiant approach towards the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee, as it decided to continue its opposition to some of the key reforms suggested by the panel after a meeting here on Saturday.

"We maintain that there are certain recommendations that are practically not implementable. Our legal counsel, Kapil Sibal, will continue with the argument on Monday," a senior board official said after the meeting, attended by representatives of its full members.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made it clear that one-state one-vote, one-person one-post, age cap and cooling-off period remained contentious issues.

The court, in its last hearing, had effectively told the BCCI to either fall in line or face consequences with regard to the implementation of reforms. But by continuing its stand-off, the board has set the stage for a confrontation that may result in its top brass being removed.

With the court scheduled to hear the case on Monday, this was the last chance for BCCI officials to discuss the issues they feel will affect the body's functioning.

Till now, only Tripura, Vidarbha and Rajasthan have adopted the Lodha committee recommendations in their letter and spirit.

BCCI president Anurag Thakur's affidavit, to be submitted in the Supreme Court, was also a focal point of discussions and a Board official, without dwelling on details, said it would be submitted in the apex court on Monday when the next hearing is scheduled.

The apex court had directed Thakur to file an affidavit and clarify whether he had asked the International Cricket Council to write that Lodha recommendations amounted to government interference.

This was reportedly claimed by ICC Chief Executive Dave Richardson in some of his recent media interactions.
