Former India cricketers Mohinder Amarnath, Anil Kumble and woman cricketer Diana Edulji to form a steering committee for the players’ association.

Former IPL COO Sundar Raman has been given a clean chit by the Lodha Panel as they feel that Raman's failure to inform IPL Governing Council of betting by team owners was not motivated.

The panel is in favour of a separate players' association.

The panel has recommended the BCCI to appoint a new CEO to take care of the day to day management of the BCCI. The CEO will be accompanied by six professional managers and they will be responsible to an APEX council.
