NEW DELHI: With Supreme Court verdict already out, 21 state units including Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) have already confirmed in writing to Lodha Panel about implementing all reforms even as former presidents N Srinivasan and Anurag Thakur joined forces in Bengaluru.

It was learnt that 24 administrators of various state units who are either disqualified or going into compulsory cooling off met in the Garden City to discuss their future.

According to the sources close to Lodha Panel said, "Today 21 state units have already written to BCCI that they are adopting Lodha Panel reforms. So if 24 individuals, who are no longer qualified officials meet anywhere in India, no one should be bothered. They are individuals who went on their own capacity. These officials who went stand disqualified as per SC verdict".

In Bengaluru on Saturday, apart from Srinivasan and Thakur, former secretary Ajay Shirke, sacked by Apex Court along with joint secretary Amitabh Chaudhary and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary attended the meeting. IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla was another prominent member.

All these officials are now Persona Non Grata after the SC verdict on January 2. Mumbai Cricket Association's PV Shetty was also present in the meeting. The six associations that did not come for the meeting are institutional bodies Railways, Services, Universities along with National Cricket Club (NCC), Vidarbha CA and DDCA.
