Suresh Menon writes on ESPNStar that appointing a paid selection committee may well be an important step towards 'professionalising' the entire cricket set up in India.
So what's the next step? Paid office-bearers? That seems logical. That is one way of introducing transparency and accountability, two elements foreign to the Board at the moment. If the Board can take away one lesson from the success of its IPL tournament, it is the efficacy of professionalism. Not just among the players, but in the administration too.
