Not yet there!!!

Its been close to two months that BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is searching for a national coach. How close are we to appoint one?. The reality is, haven't taken a step closer.

Many names were discussed as favorites - Tom Moody, Dav Watmore etc. Rahul Dravid recommended Graham Ford, John Emburey was recommended by Gavaskar. After a selection process, the board offered Ford but he denied and so is Emburey. It was learnt that the way the selection procedure was handled forced Ford and Emburey to reverse their decision.

Today, the board is back to what they were at two months ago. In fact, fallen back couple of steps. Now, they don't have any favorites. BCCI can be a financial power house but it doesn't guarantee them a professional coach.

The professionalism has to be injected on its functioning and that will benefit not just off-the-field activities but also on-the-field, to become a super power in Cricket.

Not just BCCI, even other sporting body in the country should also improve on the way they are functioning to show results in the international field. The fact, with more than a billion people we still not able to dominate any sports, is annoying.
