BCCI does u-turn on Dravid, Zaheer appointments

The BCCI has done a u-turn on the appointments of Zaheer Khan as bowling consultant and Rahul Dravid as overseas Test batting consultant; the appointments were announced on July 11.

Now, the chairman of the committee of administrators (CoA) has said those were mere recommendations that needed action from the CoA "in consultation with the head coach". Ravi Shastri, India's new head coach, meanwhile, is set to get his own support staff as that has been decided "in consultation with the head coach already".

As for Dravid and Zaheer, yet another committee has been formed to decide if they are needed at all, and terms of engagement if they are. The committee, comprising acting BCCI president CK Khanna, secretary Amitabh Choudhary and CoA member Diana Edulji, will have a meeting with Shastri. The meeting will be convened by BCCI CEO Rahul Johri.

What a mess Khaga?

In reply to sgtdjones

I am not very particular about Zaheer, but it would be very insulting for a player of the stature of Dravid. He was one of the best in India and being treated like this is really unfortunate

In reply to Pacy

They have been treating Kapil Dev like shit forever

In reply to Pacy My guess is Shastri
wants his own "yes men" he can control.

In reply to slowmanvns

I am not sure Shastri has the power to decide. Someone else is playing around there.

In reply to Narper

True. Particularly after he aliged with ICL

Khaga?

Khaga gorne country.

Khaga ignoring dis?

Must be too hot in Arizona.

If this was CWI what are a few of the adjectives that would be used to describe them in addition to PM and fans running to their homeboy defense. lol
