Nagpur: Hailing the recommendations by the Supreme Court (SC) appointed Justice RM Lodha committee for the BCCI, suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad has suggested that such proposal should also come in for other sports bodies in the country.

"BCCI is like a spoiled brat obsessed with a toy that is cricket and unwilling to let it go," said the former cricketer at a press programme organised by Bankers Sports Club of Nagpur at a city hotel yesterday. "Why are they opposing Lodha committee recommendations?" questioned Azad.

The high powered Lodha committee was appointed by the SC for overhaul of Indian cricket. Referring to the IPL mess, Azad said, it was not proper to single out Lalit Modi for the entire set of problems. "All members of the then 2009 Indian Premier League (IPL) governing council are equally responsible for the mess."
