Will paid selectors solve the problem?

The BCCI working committee meeting held last week threw up some pretty drastic changes; the Indian board took a number of good decisions and made some right noises.

Some measures look attractive, but will they yield results, asks Makarand Waingankar in The Hindu.

And in the Indian Express, Anil Kumble says that outgoing coach Greg Chappell's principles were...pretty basic...in terms of what what he wanted from the team.

Elsewhere, news filters in that Suresh Raina is giving a post-surgery rehab programme the look-over. Kolkata's The Telegraph says Raina told them that he recently had an operation on his left leg and it’s unlikely that he'll be available for the trip to Bangladesh. Hmmm.
