Now selectors job to take decision on Tendulkar: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/australia-in-india-2013/top-stories/Not-fair-to-discuss-about-Sachins-retirement-Srinivasan/articleshow/19191258.cms

Srinivasan's personal opinion was that Tendulkar has no comparison as he belongs to an altogether different league. "Sachin is different from others. This is my personal view and I distinguish between selection matters and personal view," the BCCI chief said. ... "It's not fair to be quizzed about Sachin because I am not a selector. I don't think we should be discussing this. It's not fair on Sachin to be discussed at all," the BCCI president said.

So every time a Indian captain was removed or a player was dropped' date=' the chairman always agreed to it in the past?[/quote'] There is no evidence to the contrary, so one can assume that is the case. It makes no sense to appoint someone whom the board thinks is unfit to be the captain.

BCCI chiefs have always wielded their power, Srini has taken it to a different level altogether.

There is no point hiding behind the letter of the rules. I've already explained what the spirit of the rules intend. And yeah, I've never heard of the CA boss interfering in selections. Can you give an example? Do you think it's wise to keep picking Tendulkar? Or Harbhajan? Or Ishant? Why does not the president step in and correct the wisdom of the selectors there? He does it in one instance where he himself has a major stake involved being the owner of the club of whom the said player is the captain. And you find that proper? Amazing.
Tendulkar is even bigger than Dhoni and they still want people in the stadium. Harbhajan is already out.

Yoda, please don't compare BCCI working with any Corporate business... If a CEO like Dhobi failed badly in few projects/startegies, he would've been sacked by now...

Yoda' date=' please don't compare BCCI working with any Corporate business... If a CEO like Dhobi failed badly in few projects/startegies, he would've been sacked by now...[/quote'] Yes, cannot compare. Another organization will also have an option to replace the current, but here, we had TINA.

Yahoo for example was sucking forever before CEO/co-founder Jerry Yang was forced out as CEO. Read this: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2008/05/why_arent_poor_performing_ceos.html Yes a bit dated, relevant nevertheless.

It's quite funny that you choose to give examples of CEOs and corporations. I don't know about other industries but if this was finance Srinivasan would have been pulled up by the SEC a long time back for the blatant conflict of interest. Also funny is, you choose to give an example of Yahoo - a company struggling for years. You want Indian cricket to emulate Yahoo?

Harbhajan is out? Where? He was in the last squad of the team. So was Ishant. If Srinivasan is concerned about Indian cricket what does the stature of Tendulkar have to do with it?

Now suddenly srinivasan doing interviews. Like I told you so. Hiding after 8-0 and home loss to england. All he did then was behind the scenes bkwass to to make sure CSK brand is not effected and dhoni remains as captain. A holes

Conflict of interest issue settled by Supreme Court. End of story. Yahoo example was to show that corporates don't change CEOs that easily. Read the other article I posted. TINA factor in play at corporates as well. Sometimes you have to see if what you've got is the best you can have. In fact BCCI's job is tougher than corporations as they can't pick a captain from anywhere. He has to be in the playing XI. Kohli is clearly not the answer.

Interesting and very similar article with a different headline on Cricbuzz. Stern test awaits Indian team: Srinivasan

The 4-0 clean sweep against Australia in the just-concluded Test series has justified the BCCI's faith in the team and its leader Mahendra Singh Dhoni, according to Board President N Srinivasan who said a "stern" test awaits the team when they tour South Africa.
