THREE WISE MEN AND INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

BCCI has selected three wise men as adviser for Indian cricket team. All powerful technical director is already there , where Mr. Rabi Shastri is functioning with responsibility since few seasons back. The coach of the team is a functional post where country has seen many foreign experts since the days of John Right. Right was very much successful as coach of Indian team during the regime of Sourav Ganguly as chieftain of the team. Both of them had exceptional understanding and success followed them. The infamous short period of Mr Grieg Chapel the country want to forget. Everone is aware of the differences between him and Mr Ganguly. Everyone is aware that Mr Tendulkar has mentioned in his recently published book that just before World Cup 2007 Grieg Chapel came to him and tried to influence him by offering the captaincy and to abandon Mr Dravid from the captaincy.Where Mr. Tendulkar could not suppress his astonishment that just before world cup a coach wanted to bundle up the existing captain with a treason to make another person as captain who had decided not to do captaincy long back. 

Now, in present scenario, the country smell something like that. Initially, almost it was certain that the high profile team directors post or the post of team coach is going to Mr Ganguly who is definitely an excellent choice for the post. We should not forget that.one of retired internal fast bowler of Australia also commented in print media favouring Mr Ganguly's appointment. It is also a well known fact that Mr. Ganguly had offered his condition to do the long term job at least up to 2019. The only thing he has to sacrifice the post of CAB ( Cricket Association of Bengal). Since Mr Rabi Shastri was favoured by Srnivason's group it was obvious that Mr Dalmia will not allow him to continue long. Again Mr Ganguly is near to Dalmia camp, so it is the time factor only to change the game.

But, suddenly the table turned differently. Mr Shastri not only remained as a technical director of the team, he himself has opened his mouth in front of press that seperate coach is not required for the team as he can continue both technical directors job as well as the duties of coach.Meanwhile board has already appointed the trio ( Mr Tendulkar, Mr Ganguly and Mr Laxman) as special adviser of the team, no one knows perfectly what job the trio will do? A balanced team has gone for a one test series and three one day internal series to play against minnows Bangladesh; what sort of advise these three wise cricketer of yesteryear will give the team? What is the intention of BCCI in this regard is not clear to anyone. Even when contacted by media, these three also said that they do not know exactly what type of job they will do. Why this game has been played by BCCI and at whose interest? How Mr Shastri can give a statement to press that appointment of coach is not required? Who has given him authority to talk  of his own or on behalf of BCCI ?
