In a letter dated August 23 from the Chairman of the Committee of Trustees (CoA) appointed by the Supreme Court to the Cricket Control Board of India (BCCI), Rai had made it clear that with the new constitution entering in force, with the exception of the Cricket Advisory Committee (ACC) – consisting of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman – and duly reconstituted selection committees, all committees / subcommittees of the former have been dissolved with immediate effect. Despite this letter from Rai, Rahul Johri, CEO of BCCI, and Saba Karim, Cricket Manager at GM, are also in charge of women's cricket. They study the decision of the Indian women's team to withdraw Mithali Raj from the team for the half-day. World T20 final against England which has just completed.
This decision was a surprise for BCCI officials who were caught off guard when Johri and Karim met both India T20 skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj, after rumors of contention in the World Cup. team that led to the fall of Mithali. semi-final match. Interestingly, after Diana Edulji – a two-member ACO member – made it clear that the directors should not be dealing with the issue of team selection. While Karim himself has represented the country in 35 international matches – 1 test and 34 ODI – Johri is the CEO and has no professional background. On the contrary, Mithali represented the country in 197 ODI, 85 T20I and 10 test matches.
Even more interesting is the turn of events that saw the CoC once again forgetting the existence of a panel of three ACC members who had a cricket player who played 200 test matches for the country – Tendulkar – a captain who led the national team with aplomb – Ganguly – and a former cricket player who played 134 test matches and 86 ODI for India – VVS Laxman.
Addressing Hindustan Times, a senior BCCI official stated that it was only comical to see how Rai seems to have forgotten the existence of the ACC for the business of cricket, also ordered by the Supreme Court.
"It is funny that everyone, including the Supreme Court, recognizes the existence of the Cricket Advisory Committee, with the exception of the CoC and the CEO. That's the respect Rai has for Sachin, Laxman and Sourav? Someone has to tell Rai that there was cricket before Karim and Johri and that there would be some afterwards, "he said.

According to informed sources, the HoC is waiting for the report that Johri and Karim will present before responding to the call regarding the fiasco as a whole. "Harmanpreet and Mithali have met the duo on Monday and the report that the duo will submit will decide how things will go in this case," he told Hindustan Times.
Mithali, the captain of the ODI, won two fifties in a row. against Pakistan and Ireland but was rested for the last league match against Australia because of a knee problem, then dropped for the match against England. However, Ganguly was not surprised by the turn of events.
"When I saw the resignation of Mithali Raj, I said," Welcome to the group ". Captains are welcome to sit down, so do it. I did it in Faisalabad. I did not play an ODI game for 15 months, when I was probably the best cricket artist of a day. It happens in life. Ganguly had then explained the best solution in the world.
Harmanpreet Kaur had justified the call even after the humiliating loss of eight wickets Sunday, and had said, "Whatever our decision was made, we decided the team. Sometimes it works, sometimes no, no regrets. "
