It is very healthy that the issue is table for discussion in the lok sabha.
What really needs to be discussed is not ganguly's sacking per se, but the decision has been processed -- arbitrary. A man who has scored one run short of 80 in two innings together and thus contributed to the Indian total, has been dropped to favour people who have not even scored 10 runs in two innings. Clearly, merit has not been the basis for dropping Ganguly. People like Kiran More who are involved in this unfair decision are lesser class players, a fact which vitiates the very process of decision making. The fact that there is a selction committee does not mean that they can take any kind of decision they want. If there is a committee, it is because they need to assist in laying down systems and follow them and protect the sanctity of the systems. Sanctity has been given a complete go by and the decision obviously is coloured by vengefulness and political considerations. The selection committee needs to be controlled and monitored to improve the objectivity and quality of its functioning.
Over years Politicians had been responsible for deterioration in every spear of activitiy and development in India. Now that politicians have chosen to launch themselves headlong into cricket affairs, it is only a matter of a couple of years for Indian Cricket to plumet from the impressive heights it reached.
