The Indian cricket team should use businessman Jack Welch's strategy of phasing out of the deadwoods from a company, Vijay Tagore writes in DNA. He says that while the BCCI is essentially now a big corporate house, its functioning is retrograde.
A defeat of this magnitude calls for not only a review, but a revamp of the system. However, history tells us that the BCCI is loath to such an initiative. Its petulance, one understands, has something to do with history. The last such review, following India’s premature exit from the 2007 World Cup, resulted in a sort of indictment of the board’s mandarins. The former captains, who attended the review meeting, found fault with the board than players. Once bitten, the BCCI is forever shy.
