NEW DELHI, July 14: Welcoming the Justice RS Lodha committee verdict on the IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya today said the Board is �committed to honour and respect judicial decisions� but will go through the contents of the panel�s report before reacting to it.
�BCCI is committed to honour and respect judicial decisions and it would give its observations after the entire report is read and a collective decision is taken,� Dalmiya was quoted as saying in a BCCI media release.
Dalmiya, however, asserted that the BCCI is committed to ensuring transparency, accountability and cleansing the sport in order to restore the faith and confidence of millions of cricket-loving people in the game of cricket in general and IPL in particular.
Secretary Anurag Thakur on his part said, �We respect the verdict and would undertake a collective decision in a transparent manner, in the right direction and in the larger interest of the game after the verdict is received and analysed.�
