What does BCCI have to hide?

The larger debate on accountability in Indian sport has been overshadowed by how the new sports bill will affect cricket writes Kunal Pradhan in the Mumbai Mirror. Taking control of cricket and putting it under the RTI are two mutually exclusive ideas; while the first would be disastrous, the second is necessary.

But there is another aspect to this discussion that is being glossed over by most experts (even those who’re not on the BCCI payroll). Should any body that performs a public service, especially a ‘non-profit organisation’ such as the Indian cricket board, have a problem with the RTI Act? If anything, the BCCI, which projects itself as a beacon of hope at a time when other sports are dying, save for a few gifted athletes here and there, should volunteer to be open to public scrutiny.
