Why the CAG in the BCCI?Is this taxpayers money?On one hand SC says no sitting govt employee can be a office bearer and then they as CAG representative.

Not sure .But dont think Captain ever had official voting power.

Only 3 selectors means there will be less persons,  from the current 5,  to watch live domestic matches by splitting up the group.

 

Talented players from weaker teams, who do not make it to the more important games, may miss out as a result.
