Jaipur: The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convener and BJP MLA Jaideep Bihani has appointed retired Supreme Court Justice Deepak Verma as the ombudsman, 'in line with Lodha Committee recommendations'.
This decision follows the 'approval' of 18 District Cricket Associations (DCA), who authorised Bihani to appoint the ombudsman, ethics officer and election officer, as well as take action against the Bikaner and Pali DCAs.
On Thursday, Bihani issued orders to revoke the affiliation of the Pali and Bikaner DCAs due to alleged financial irregularities and election discrepancies.
"The decision was made under Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 30 of the State Sports Act and Section 30C of the RCA Constitution.
A decision on Jodhpur DCA is under consideration," said the convener in a press conference here at RCA Academy on Friday.
Bihani announced that the RCA Annual General Meeting is scheduled for June 20. He also revealed that he has the consent of 18 DCA secretaries, who have authorised him to form various committees, including the cricket committee, standing committee, legal committee, finance committee and sub-committees, as well as appoint auditors and manage RCA bank account signatories.

Convener dismisses corruption allegations: Launching a sharp counter attack against ad hoc member Dhananjai Singh Khimsar's group, Bihani dismissed allegations of financial mismanagement, emphasising that all BCCI grants were transparently disbursed to players, match officials and vendors.
"The Indian cricket board (BCCI) granted Rs 57.5 crore to the RCA over the past year, a testament to the committee's effective functioning.
Would the BCCI provide grants if we weren't working?" he questioned while refuting corruption allegations against him.
Bihani also criticised other members for calling frequent meetings to profit from travel allowance and dearness allowance claims, stating he has never claimed such benefits himself.
Moreover, Colvin Shield will be held from June 7 and Bihani asserted that he will single-handedly organise the tournament if other ad hoc members do not cooperate.
