In the Hindu, Makarand Waingankar asks for more accountability from the selectors in dealing with youngsters, since selection is no longer a thankless job; it is a paid job.
The national selectors, who during their careers perhaps themselves have been victims of weird selection policies, find it tough to get rid of the bias they get blamed for as they can only pick the best 15 they can think of.
The only difference between all the earlier selection committees and the present one is that these selectors being highly paid are accountable and hence need to exhibit better vision than others.
