Gautam Gambhir has already been asked a few tough questions after the 0-3 defeat at home to New Zealand and if the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is also lost, it can all go downhill for the former opener.

The decision was taken after state association's working committee meeting chaired by former India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Supreme Court has dismissed the BCCI's plea seeking a review of its July 18 verdict directing it to implement the recommendations of Justice R M Lodha panel on massive structural reforms in the cricket body. "We have examined the grounds urged in support of the prayer for review. We find no error apparent on the face of the record to warrant recall of our order dated July 18, 2016.

The Solicitor General said, "Leadership develops at the grassroots level and it remains in the state association.

One cannot become a member of the BCCI if he is not an active member of the state association".
