Cracking the whip following India’s shambolic Test series against England, The BCCI today virtually sidelined coach Duncan Fletcher by appointing former captain Ravi Shastri as the Team Director while giving a “break” to bowling coach Joe Dawes and fielding coach Trevor Penny for the upcoming one-day series.

Under pressure to act after India’s disastrous performance in the Test series, the BCCI also appointed former players Sanjay Bangar and Bharat Arun as assistant coaches and R Sridhar as the fielding coach as it revamped the team management.

In reality little point as the position would go to Cheerleader's drinking buddies and/or a Kohli yes-man

Make Kumble the director.

 

He is the only sure-shot pick who won't be a yes-man to this duo.

The filth started from there itself, Srini appointed him as  team director after the test series loss of 3-1. Subsequently we won the ODI series & it was portrayed as if Shastri had turned the tide.

Lol yeah. That too against a rubbish England ODI side that was completely clueless and was rightfully knocked out in the group stages itself.

Gollapudi himself says in the article that it's not gonna happen. Kohli and kumble have had issues with each other for nearly a decade now and especially after the fiasco last year , kumble will have no role in the team till Kohli retires .

I know  someone who I feel would make a perfect Team Director.

Ilustrious Ranji career..... Test , ODI player, ...Ranji Umpire, ....Cricket Administrator, ....Test , ODI, T20 Head Coach, ....T20 WC Manager winner .....Ranji Coach. 

Still involved in cricket at the highest level.

What is the point of having a Captain, coach and a director.  All it would lead to is power struggles.  We just need competent people who do their job as Captain and Coach.  We don't need a 3rd high-salary position.  

 

Its not complicated.

With so much cricket and related travel, we need someone who can plan for future tours (players rotation, practise games, SWOT analysis, etc.). Captain and coach focus on current series and don't appear to be spending too much time on planning future series. When there is a gap b/w series, many of them take the much needed rest

That's what the BCCI is there for.  The Selectors, the team "general Manager".  What do all these morons do.

They do tea parties. We need a role that comes with accountability to do planning .... the role could even be termed as a “consultant”

Did you remember the chaos before SA tour. Players did not even know when they were about to leave for SA until the end & I'm talking about test specialists here. Kohli's marriage reception also came & lead to more confusion. 

Babudom runs extremely strong from top to bottom in BCCI. Not excusing players, but sometimes the board bows down unnecessarily neglecting the greater good. It is futile to think they'd take some kind of a visionary step.

There has to be an accountability or else, there will be no seriousness about their jobs. They are finally feeling the heat for their misdeeds with in the Indian cricket. 

 

This Nagaraj Gollapudi is a fine author and makes a lot of sense than this current team management.

Anushka bhabhi will be the best for the job.  That way she can accompany kohli on every tour.

There isn't a fully functioning BCCI at the moment.   And quite a few members have resigned from the Court appointed CoA.  

 

The selectors'  job descriptions do not allow for comprehensive long term planning, management and co-ordination of the cricketing aspects. 

 

One of the biggest problems we have in India is ... players, especially the big ones, do not listen to anyone who is not a successful cricketer himself.  There is no respect for any position as such.  Professionalism is lacking in this aspect.

 

So, we need some big cricketer to plan, manage and co-ordinate the cricketing aspects.  Plus introduce actual accountability.  Whatever his designation is, is immaterial.

 

In the IPL era , the choice of captain would invariably be limited to  big IPL stars.  The quality of the captain may never be like what we had till 2011, the pre-IPL era and its nascent stage.  More importantly ... his removal will not be performance based.  The power that he will enjoy will be much more than the captains till 2010.  We have seen it with Captain Dhoni 2.0 and  Captain Kohli.

 

Suddenly, from 2011,  puppet coaches are being selected too, be it Fletcher or Shastri.  Kumble, the only coach with independent opinions, did not survive.

 

There has to be some accountability and planning introduced somewhere.  The CoA and BCCI representatives don't interfere much about the cricketing aspects and faulty selections.
