Sourav Ganguly keen to get Sachin Tendulkar to work with budding cricketers like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw

Moments after being selected as the new Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President, Sourav Ganguly had promised to make a mark in whatever time he gets in the hot seat. Having already managed to walk the talk and organise India’s first Day-Night Test match, Ganguly has now supposedly approached his former opening partner and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar to groom the next generation of stars.

Sources in the know of developments said that while the whole process is still in the nascent stage, the former India skipper is keen to get Tendulkar to work with youngsters and groom them into champion players.

“The process has been started, but it is too early to make statements on the progress or how things stand. But, if all goes as per plan, you could see the likes of Shubman Gill or Rishabh Pant or Prithvi Shaw spending quality time with the legend and discussing not just their cricketing skills, but also the mental side of the game. Who better than the man who played international cricket for 24 years to share his experience with the new kids on the block? This would indeed be another masterstroke keeping in mind the future of Indian cricket,” the source said.

 

Asked if it would be like Tendulkar visiting the National Cricket Academy (NCA) or how exactly the sessions would be planned, the source said that will need to be looked into keeping in mind the Conflict of Interest clause of the newly registered BCCI Constitution.

“That will have to be done in a way that while the kids can pick on the brain of one of the best to have played the game, there is also no issue of conflict whatsoever as far as Tendulkar is concerned. These things will need to be worked out,” the source pointed.

After taking over as BCCI chief, Ganguly had made it clear that he wanted to use the services of the legends of Indian cricket to help the future stars. In fact, since the conflict clause is a hindrance in this, he made it clear that needs to be looked into immediately.

“Conflict is an issue whether you will actually get the best cricketers in the system. You are not too sure as they will have other options and if they come into this system and not get to do something which is their livelihood, then it gets difficult to be part of the system. It needs to be looked into.

“If you look at all the appointments that have happened in various forms -- whether it is the NCA or CAC or the appointment of batting, fielding coaches, there has been issue with everything. Then come to commentators or IPL. This needs to be sorted as it is another very serious issue in Indian cricket,” he had said.

 

In fact, former teammate and NCA head Rahul Dravid has been asked to depose before the Ethics Officer on November 12 in the matter where there are allegations of conflict against the former India captain.

Good, involve the legends. Even someone like Saha can contribute now that the years are catching up. Bengal has always been at the forefront of positive change in Indian academics, society and culture, maybe now time to turn attention to sports and lead India to light. 

 

What Bengal thinks today, India will think tomorrow..or at least the good part . With SG in charge expect only good things to happen in Indian cricket.....um ignore tomorrow's fixture, a legacy of COA . 

 

Blessings and Joy Bangla

@Audiophile Dude your pics are disturbing not the ones about aila. Can you put spoiler tags around it or a warning before it. It would be ok if someone caught me looking at naked ladies rather than a monkey's a$$

Yeah me too. He used to be a one trick pony. Now its very annoying the way he likes the posts which he should be trollvoting. I'm disappointed

[kaptaan]

Posting about cricket is fine but why do some losers post  about diet and fashion of retired cricketers ? Are they jealous that they can't buy food or clothes for themselves while Sachin could afford that ?

Dhoni would be a great fit for such a role. Give him a farewell game and immediately move him to mentor role!

So when you got to the zoo, you avoid the primate enclosure for fear of your significant other or parents or siblings getting mad at you?

Its not fear but embarassment. Lets say you are at your workplace and you are browsing ICF. All of a sudden you are staring at a monkey's anus and your buddy from the next cubicle comes up and sees you seeing it. You may even get fired. That's why you have NSFW labels for warning. Your example of the zoo is irrelevant here

You may be over-reacting here. Firing someone for looking at the picture of a primate is hardly skin to sexual harassment, looking at porn at work, fellow employee intimidation or similar type of offenses that usually end with termination. However, I have removed the monkey's photo just so that you can enjoy the post without any feelings of shame or embarrassment!

We don't need too many cooks in teh kitchen. If we get a legend to work with the young players, they need to work with them long term, otherwise it is better if the youngsters work with their original coaches and the Team India hired batting coach.

So my post deleted, great job admins . Sachin fanboys as usual can't take a joke, no wonder they are so ripe for leg pulling. 

 

Where is the fun on ICF these days? Are we supposed to post only serious stuff? 

 

Dhoni fans have got so much more chill @velu @Real McCoy

Not saying you should remove the photo. Just put it in spoiler tags or NSFW tag before it. So people can chose whether or not to look at it

Its a disease. Sachin had a great season in 1998 when he had some record for most ODI runs or something. Ponting had a good season that year too but he didn't score that many runs because he played less ODIs. One of my friends said if Ponting played that many matches, he can score that many runs too. At that time being a Sachintard, I couldn't accept it. Now I realize his point. This disease can affect your sense of humor as can be displayed by the removal of your post. Dhoni and Kohli have copped more BS and his fans haven't reacted this way
