"worked with GCA"? Like that Saurasthra guy?  

 

Come on now.  

Worked as joint secretary and then with BCCI from 2015 

[Strangering]

It will do nothing. There is no championship DNA in the Indian cricket culture. You need that little extra in your prep, in fitness, in mental stamina, in ability to pivot quickly, in ability to play the best team instead of superstar tag holders. 

 

Next set of selectors will come through and fail. 

 

Selectors are just guinea pigs.

What even are the perks of being a selector currently? What is their remuneration?

As if they had any real power in the first place.

This. In any case they were responsible too. But definitely this is an attempt to save Dravid Rohit who most likely had all the authority to demand players they want.

I think I read somewhere that it is around 1 Crore rupees a year.

A small step in the right direction.  The thing it may achieve is improve our A teams, provided the new guys are better.

 

These selectors selected test regular Shardul Thakur for India A Unofficial Tests when Prasidh got injured. And this blocked the development of a young uncapped pacer. And selected Mukesh Kumar in the ODI squad based on FC stats. They were this bad. 

 

But this is just a step to appease the angry public by showing token accountability without removing the real " culprits ", that is the Coach, the Captain and the non performing senior players in big matches. If these guys are removed then we will know that there is real accountability.

That should be subjected to winning WC tournaments. Then of course they will pick the best team to win it.

 

Otherwise they will always have vested interests in selection.

Just one post made you lose your temper. And that when we were almost on same page if you read it properly.

 

I will say it again, Amit Shah is not stupid to think BCCI position can give his son any public support. Maybe his son himself wanted to take this route, which is going to fail sooner or later.

 

 

You are too myopic. Theres a bigger game at play here. Jay shah's inclusion has been strategic. Now, the political party will have all the balance sheets and will take the lions share from the money without being questioned. Ofcourse all this will happen behind the scenes.

Don't create strawman ... It never helps 

It's better to have Bateman who make 50 in 30 balls plus offspin rather than 40 ball 30 in first 10 overs . Mr Kohli should no where near t20 .

Chetan Sharma was a clown to begin with

Selectors were part of the problem. Most of the folks on ICF would have picked 90% of these players.

Bhuvi, Kela, Rohit, Harshal, Axar and Ashwin won't hv been picked by 99.9% of ICFers, I bet.

90% would have dropped one or the other not all 5. But they would have picked KLPD is what you are implying.
