As the BCCI Apex Council prepares for a virtual meeting on March 02, 2022, the discussions are likely to revolve around the CK Nayudu Trophy, Women's Senior T20 and the formation of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the upcoming Men's ODI World Cup.
The CK Nayudu Trophy, Women's Senior and Ranji Trophy were simultaneously postponed, citing rising COVID-19 cases. While India's premier red-ball tournament marked its return this month, the resumption of competitions for U-23 and women cricketers are yet to be announced.
PTI has reported that the 14-point agenda pivotally features the plan to resume these two marquee domestic tournaments. Another point of discussion would be the formation of LOC for the 2023 ODI World Cup, scheduled in India.
As Dhiraj Malhotra relinquished the position of General Manager - Game Development, a new appointment on the same position is likely to be decided. With Byju's contract as the Indian cricket team sponsor ending on March 31, 2022, talks may be held on the topic.
There is a five-match T20 series between India and South Africa scheduled in June. The venues for the games are expected to be allotted in the meeting.
The central contracts of men and women cricketers will be sanctioned and a newly-introduced sexual harassment policy of the BCCI will be approved.
An increase in hosting fees for the state cricket associations and the appointment of a Sports Science head at the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore will also be discussed.
