Create pool of 30 bowlers, says BCCI advisory panel

In order to strengthen India's bowling resources, the high-profile BCCI cricket advisory committee has suggested a pool of bowlers - 15 quicks and as many spinners - be identified and monitored over a four-year cycle. The recommendation of the panel comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman was immediately accepted by BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur and president Jagmohan Dalmiya, who met the trio in the first formal meeting of the new committee in Kolkata.
"One important recommendation was to select a pool of 15 pacers and 15 spinners and we can have specialist coaches for pacers and spinners to look after them," Thakur said. "For example, in fast-bowling segment we can have a few bowlers in the Under-19, U-23 and rest could be from seniors. We can look at a four-year period to groom the players. There should be continuity and the players should be mentally and technically prepared to play at the highest level."
It is understood that the pool of 30 bowlers will be shortlisted by the national selectors and the cricket advisory committee will have no role to play in it.

What the eff are we going to do with 15 spinners? Those many Indian spinners probably don't even bowl in the IPL. Should be more like groom two spinners for every three pacers.
