The Committee of Administrators (CoA) yesterday clarified aspects about the 9+9 years disqualification and cooling-off period rule in Indian cricket administration. In the August 16 directions issued by the electoral officer, the disqualification and the cooling-off period rule was only limited to office-bearers.

However, yesterday the CoA made it clear that disqualification and cooling off rules will be applicable to "Officer Bearer or Councilor or member of Governing Council or any committee" in a state association, BCCI or IPL for a cumulative period of nine years or more.
