The BCCI's technical committee will have detailed discussions with the zonal and state associations on the issue of making the domestic circuit more competitive with emphasis on quality wickets, its chairman Sunil Gavaskar said in New Delhi on Wednesday.

"Though no firm decision was taken at the meeting today, there were important suggestions made by the affiliate members," Gavaskar told reporters after the meeting. "Our main concern is to improve the quality of wickets and we want to have state associations' view on it, that's why additional time was required," Gavaskar said. The opinion of players will also be taken to make tournaments more competitive, he added.

Gavaskar said the committee at its meeting in July would finalise the suggestions brought about at Wednesday's meeting. "The recommendations will then be put before the Board' Annual General Meeting slated for Septemeber," he said. The AGM's decisions will be in place by the next season, he said.

The legendary batsman declined to make any 'personal comment' on the issue saying, "they (comments) will put pressure on the committee members."
