Dear BCCi and other custodians of Indian cricket:
As an ardent follower and fan of Indian cricket, I have had the pleasure and privilege of watching many memorable performers and performances.
However, it is also prudent to think and assess the ramifications of how we are performing overseas as well as in our talent scouting and talent grooming processes.
Apart from using the national team's performances outside the subcontinent as a benchmark and barometer for the standards we have set ourselves, it is also quintessential to look at our bench strength, the grooming of our A teams, the exposure they get through quality tours, the domeatic cricket structure apart from the IPL razzmatazz, and the junior level cricket (U-19s et al).
If we can ensure transparency and accountability on these aspects, I am sure we will be a much better team, not just despite the system but because of it too.
Here's to better days and better tours ahead, Amen!!
Cheers,
Just one of the millions of well-wishers of Indian Cricket.
