The meeting was significant as it has become clear in recent times that the national selection committee, led by MSK Prasad, is not on the same page as the team management comprising captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri.
Accordingly, the COA met in Delhi on Saturday and assured staging associations that BCCI will curtail its share of passes from 1200 to 604.
India conceded a series defeat to England, which has raised a number of questions on the team's performance.
With CK Khanna's trip being cleared by the COA, the questions that are being asked in BCCI headquarters is that COA is applying different yardsticks for different people.
YoYo Test is not an uncommon test in Indian cricketing circle. Earlier, there used to be the old-fashioned beep test but that was never the only criteria for selection.
Since the BCCI-COA relationship has been a fractured one and the members claim that they weren't kept in the loop about the revised remuneration of players, it will be interesting to see what stance the general body takes.
Chaudhary openly questioned the decisions taken by CoA with regards to various appointments.
It is learnt that around 13 full member units have listed a 10-point agenda forcing acting president CK Khanna to instruct acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary to call for a SGM.
Rai has had first-hand experience of interacting with Kohli on policy matters and after 16 months, he has his own assessment of the maverick Indian skipper.
The Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai firmly backed the Indian cricket team's decision of not playing Day-Night pink ball Test against Australia during the upcoming tour Down Under at the end of the year.
Along with Edulji, former India opener, late Pankaj Roy will also be awarded posthumously. Edulji had played 20 Tests and 34 ODIs in a career spanning over 17 years, taking 63 and 46 wickets respectively.
Earlier, the Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO Shafiq Stanikzai had expressed his desire for Kohli to play the historical Test match against Afghanistan.
However, a question mark will remain on the validity of Shetty's extension letter as it doesn't have the approval of CoA chief Vinod Rai.
The three principal office-bearers of the BCCI decided to call the "informal" meeting in which they lambasted the two-member COA headed by Vinod Rai for mismanagement.
Apart from the three office-bearers, the aggrieved officials like former secretary Niranjan Shah and a few others are expected to join the discussions.
Amitabh Choudhary's decision is in contrast to the CoA that has already cleared the appointment of Priya Gupta for the post.
The head of the Committee of Administrators said both Dhoni and Kohli wanted A+ to be a functional category to indicate who are the Indian team's top performers.
Hitting back at the CoA's move, Choudhary, in his letter to the CoA, questioned several decisions taken by the committee since its formation on January 2 last year.
CoA chairman Vinod Rai has instructed the BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) chief Neeraj Kumar to look into the corruption allegations levelled against Shami by his wife.
Having already sought their removal in the seventh Status Report filed in Supreme Court last week, the CoA has gone a step further by issuing the diktat to stop the office-bearers from taking any decision unilaterally.
