“The elected members will look after administrative side but cricketing decisions will be taken by cricketer. Gautam is one of the biggest names in Delhi cricket. It’s only natural, he will play a major role. You can put it on record, Gautam will take all policy decisions with regards to cricket,” Tihara said during an interaction at the Kotla.

“How can we forget that after the KP Bhaskar incident, he was summoned for a disciplinary hearing and made to sit outside and wait like a criminal. That’s not how you treat a celebrated cricketer,” the secretary said.

Tihara made it clear that Gambhir’s decision will be accorded due respect and it will be him, who would decide on who all will constitute the Cricket Affairs Committtee.

Currently Madan Lal, who lost the presidential elections, is the head of CAC but it is unlikely he will continue.

Incidentally, it was Lal who headed the disciplinary committee, that handed a four match suspended sentence for Gambhir’s fracas with coach KP Bhaskar during 2016-17 season.

“We want former players like Mithun Manhas to also get involved in cricketing decisions along with Director of Cricket Sanjay Bhardwaj,” Tihara said.

Good news for Delhi cricket if implemented. A big 'if' though.

He should retire and focus on it as anyway chances of him coming back to the national side are very slim. Very passionate cricketer, exciting times ahead for Delhi cricket.

Finally something good and finally I might start to support Delhi state team... You can say whatever you want about Gambhir, but he is a genuine patriot who would want to play the bestest of players to play for Delhi (and eventually for India), and would care less about sifrashis giving money to get themselves selected..

 

If people don't know how Delhi teams are selected, selectors and Delhi cricket board members run their own academies and unless you play for that academy (by paying huge money), you have no chance of playing for Delhi.. and then these Delhi board members who run these academies fight among themselves to get their own players selected (cuz they took bribe from the families promising them a spot in Delhi team).. Which is why sometimes 3 years back, there were two Delhi teams.. one team selected few bunch of selectors and one team by another selectors .. with different coaches.... players had to choose which Delhi team they would play... Can you believe this!!

 

I can vouch that Gambhir will change Delhi cricket to a good cricket board with no Pakistan like system.
