The BCCI is likely to defer the bidding process for the IPL television and digital rights, which had been scheduled to open in Mumbai on October 25, in wake of the fresh order from the Supreme Court on Friday.The court order had directed the BCCI to route all tenders and contracts through the Lodha Committee. The committee has not yet decided when it will conduct its next meeting to decide its next step following the court order. It is understood that the BCCI has contacted the committee, which has not yet responded to the board; the BCCI needs to wait for its approval. If the BCCI decides to go ahead with the bidding process without the committees backing, it will be in danger of being in contempt of court.Within hours of the court pronouncing the order, BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke sent an email to the Lodha Committee seeking direction on whether the IPL bids could be held next Tuesday. It is understood that BCCI also sent the committee all necessary details, including the paperwork submitted by the 18 bidders that had bought the invitation to tender (ITT) document.We have sought advice from the Lodha Committee, a senior BCCI official told ESPNcricinfo. The BCCI is already prepared for the bidding process to be postponed. The board official said that even if the committee were to give it the nod, the BCCI would be faced with logistical issues to conduct the bidding on Tuesday.According to the official, once the BCCI validated the 18 companies that had bought the ITT, it needed to send them an agreement. First you issue the agreement. Then there are two rounds of clarifications. After the clarifications some points change and you revise the agreement. The revised agreement did not go out yesterday after the court judgement.If they say go ahead, we will do that on October 25. But it would be a very big challenge for the board. So we will just change the date by one or two days. The official said the board had not updated the 18 companies yet on the schedule, and would do so only after it heard from the Lodha Committee.In the order, the court had also asked the committee to appoint an independent auditor to oversee all existing and future finance-related issues, tenders and contracts of the board. The court also asked the committee to set a threshold value for contracts; whenever that limit was exceeded, the BCCI would need to seek approval from the Lodha panel before moving ahead in the particular matter.Shirke, in his email, had also asked the committee if the independent auditor would also be present for the bidding process. We dont know what the threshold value is. We dont know who the auditor is. So we have submitted all the papers [relating to the tender] to them. And we await the directive from the committee now, the official said.In September, the BCCI announced it would invite bidders to participate in an open-tender process to secure IPL rights for the next cycle starting 2018. With the IPLs worth having soared astronomically over its nine seasons, and keeping in mind the changing trends in business dynamics, the BCCI had split the media rights into three categories: Indian subcontinent television rights, India subcontinent digital rights and Rest of the World media rights. Among those who bought the ITT were non-television players Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and Reliance Jio.The case stems from the IPL 2013 fixing scandal. The court had initially appointed the Lodha Committee to determine appropriate punishments for those involved, and propose changes to the BCCIs functioning to ensure best practices. In July the court accepted the majority of the committees recommendations, covering wide-ranging aspects of Indian cricket at the central and state level, making it binding on the BCCI to implement them. The BCCI has since questioned the benefits of some of these reforms - particularly the one state, one vote policy, the age cap on board officials, and the cap and cooling off periods on their terms in office - and missed some deadlines for their implementation, prompting the Lodha Committee and the Supreme Court to pursue the matter.

Australias cricketers have stated their opposition to the use of Cricket Australia development teams in domestic competitions, heightening scrutiny around the CA XI to take part in this years Matador Cup in the second of a two-year trial. As part of preliminary talks ahead of MOU negotiations due to begin between the Australian Cricketers Association and CA from October 1, player delegates met in Melbourne over the past two days to discuss a broad platform of positions from which to commence talks. Speaking for the players, the ACA executive member Simon Katich, said that the integrity of domestic tournaments as genuinely competitive environments - rather than purely developmental pathways - had been discussed at length.The delegates discussed a number of topics around the structure of domestic cricket, innovations coming into the game and any concerns people might have, Katich told ESPNcricinfo. The views were consistent in that what is important to the players is that the domestic structure is still seen as a tough competition rather than possibly a development pathway, given the Matador Cup has evolved where there was a CA XI last year and this year over a trial period of two years.Things like that can change the dynamic of the competition because its not actually a state team playing as such. Last year it was a younger team put together from guys who were contracted with different states and not getting a game for their own states. But the delegates were unanimous in the fact they dont want the integrity of the Sheffield Shield or other domestic competitions to be changed because it is seen as a competition to develop players rather than having a tough competition to produce resilience and for guys to then succeed at Test level down the track.The CA XI was roundly thrashed in initial encounters with full-strength state sides, before improving later on in the competition and defeating Tasmania. We said initially that we were prepared to back this for a two-year trial and we are sticking to that for the second season as we felt that there were significantly positive results for Australian cricket, CAs team performance manager Pat Howard said.With the postponement of the Test tour [to Bangladesh] last October, the CA XI came up against very strong state sides, which was wonderful for the competition but was also a tough introduction for the young group. It is important we continue to review the concept again this season, as there were many positives.Player development pathways have been a source of conflictt between the players and CA in the past, notably the introduction of severe age restrictions on second XI competitions and the trial of split innings limited-overs cricket in 2010-11.dddddddddddd CA ultimately scrapped both gambits in consultation with its own playing conditions committee. The ACA operations manager Graham Manou recently quit to join CA as the man in charge of talent pathways.Among others issues, the ACA is seeking equal working conditions for women in the next MOU, though the players are yet to determine whether they will be seeking an increase in their current 24-27% share of the games total revenue by way of compensation. Katich said that women were at a junction not dissimilar to the men in 1997, when the advent of the ACA itself heralded full professionalism for domestic cricketers in addition to Australian players.Its about the women being able to enjoy equal rights as players, and not just around pay, some of it relates to state programs around the country. Theres disparities in how some states run their womens programmes compared to others in terms of support staff, Katich said. Were in a transition period where, a lot of the women are making the decision to commit full-time to cricket, a bit like how it was back in 1997 for the men when the ACA formed.In that transition period its crucial to get it right so the women can make the decision based not only from a financial point of view but also so they can develop their game so the infrastructure is in place for them to train at flexible times and still be able to study or work if and when they need to. Its about getting the women up to speed even with little things like not having to pay for cabs to get in to training and things like that, the injury policy and having the same work condition when they tour.AFL players are currently arguing for a similar fixed revenue percentage arrangement to that enjoyed by the cricketers, and there are elements of CA equally keen to roll it back. The delegates are unanimous that that revenue sharing model should stay; its worked for 19 years and it continues to make sure were a genuine stakeholder in the game, Katich said. Both the men and the women were unanimous about that, knowing that part of the plan is to try and develop one MOU that covers both the men and the women. Obviously its one thing saying that, the other is figuring out the process to get to that point. ' ' '
