Lannister Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 If an important suggestion of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to the amended draft constitution is accepted by the Supreme Court, then another key power of the elected office-bearers in relation to BCCI appointing selectors could be taken away and given to a committee along the lines of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), which currently selects the head coach. In a comment on the issue of the national selection committee, put up on the board's website, the CoA notes: "As per the existing BCCI constitution, the selection committees are appointed by the general body of the BCCI at every AGM and the tenure of the selection committees is accordingly one year. "Although the draft constitution that was annexed to the report of the Hon'able Justice Lodha Committee didn't make any change in this procedure for appointment of the selection committee, the CoA requests this Hon'able court to consider a procedure whereby the general body does not directly appoint the selection committees, but instead appoints a professional committee comprising reputed former cricketers (like the erstwhile CAC which had comprised Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman)" Further, the CoA has recommended a two-year period, instead of the current one, for the selectors. "Such professional committee can then appoint the selection committees for a term of two years." The CoA has also suggested that the committee appointed to pick the selectors, should also be asked to pick the coach and the support staff. As per the Lodha reforms, the selectors are required to pick the team's coach and support staff, but if accepted by the SC, this recommendation may expand the ambit of the CAC, which currently chooses only the head coach. The likes of Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman may then have the power to choose the team's support staff, and the national selectors as well. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/101899/change-procedure-to-appoint-selection-panel-coa-requests-supreme-court Here's to COA It's about time we see changes with the procedures involving selection committee. Too many rubbish players have been given long ropes in the last few years. Link to comment
Malcolm Merlyn Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 CoA is trying its best to wreck the BCCI. I wonder if they are on the payroll of Manohar and co. CoA has no job inserting their own advises into the constitution. They only need to make a constitution according to the Lodha Committee. Btw Mr. Vinod Rai we will see if you resign on 23rd May when you turn 70. Lannister 1 Link to comment
