If players from other regions are good enough, they get picked. The regional quota system is BS. Please dont try to bring equal representation/reservation into this !

Other players from other regions are not promoted in first place. There should be only 1 team from 1 state. BCCI is nothing but Bombay & Gujarat Cricketers Association.

So you can not beat Hyderabad if they are togather then Ranji quarter is difficult under great leadership of Ganguly.

Check out how miserably Hyderabad has been performing. Just see how well Bengal team has been performing.Btw Bengal does not need 2/3 teams to promote talent. 11 players from Bengal are enough for the rest.
Don't miss this joker' tie in the photograph. Looks like he is all set to fly the Union Jack as our famed team is about to be whipped by a depleted England side. Wake up moron and see the writing on the wall. ICL will be breathing down your neck and you will continue to live in a fool' paradise. You should be ashamed of yourself by saying that the Graham Ford issue was not a fiasco. You had egg all over your face and you still choose to ignore it. If BCCI represents India then Graham Ford insulted India but a moron like you and others in the BCCI cannot see it. An ordinary coach like Graham Ford put you'll in your place and all you can do is hang your heads like little lap dogs and say that he should not have behaved like this. Take a leaf out of how professionally the Pakistan Board has handled their Coach issue. Geoff Lawson was made to tell the media before he was formally appointed that he would be the next coach of Pakistan and only after that he received his letter. Learn something from other boards instead of touting yourselves as some dream merchants. You are about to see Ford Gate 2 shortly if these jokers continue to remain in the BCCI. Our present Team Manager Chandu Borde is an apology for a Manager as he can neither speak nor coach or address the media effectively. The only photos we get to see of him is his shivering in the cold English weather. No wonder our team is also facing a similar fate on the field.
BCCI is the worst thing to happen to Indian cricket ever! They don't even have a website. They claim to be different from the other cricketing bodies but are so incompetent. Only the West Indies board is more pathetic in their quality of operations.
What is even frustruating for the cricket fans in India is that these BCCI officials don't give a hoot to what anybody thinks about them. I happened to see a picture of the BCCI "headquarters" in Mumbai. It looked like a public toilet at a bus station somewhere in Chandigarh! The BCCI earns about 70% of the world's cricket revenue, but what do they do with this money. There is no improvement in infrastructure, refusal to recruit top-notch staff (Indian cricket does not have a coach, a media manager, a permanent team manager, or a proper fielding and bowling coach! Prasad and Robin Singh were not the best in their fields and were part of the deprived pre-John Wright Indian team), poor remuneration for players, and no creative ideas to develop the vast amount of talent in this country. So what do they do with this money?
I really hope this is the start to the end of BCCI, an organisation that has been malignant with cancer and is rotting away. They can hold on to their rested stadiums and mismanaged National academies and watch is shock when all your avenues for money dry up and watch your associations leave you for a better deal. Cause at the end of the day REVENUE STREAM determines who is BOSS for the ICC, the associate states and even the players. It is only us the Indian cricket fans that fork out our hard earned money to see the BCCI plunder it and blunder it and then have the audacity to tell us that is BELONGS TO THE BCCI and not the NATION INDIA!!
So ICL, here is to the future, see if you can run it like the English Football Premiership, new state of the art stadiums, academies and most of all treating the Indian Fan with the honesty and respect he or she deserves. May be one day in the future an Aussie beating and world topping Indian Team will form from your ranks. The start has caused ripples of change and hopefully it will gain momentum and cause rapid changes, GOOD LUCK.
Reading through this article and previous articles, I do sincerely hope that the ICL over the next few years does sign all the Indian current players and the fringe players and the emerging players.
Leaving the BCCI with a third grade team to represent their Indian Team, which in many occasions the dear members of the BCCI have clarified that does not belong to India, but a property of the BCCI.
Then let%u2019s see what the ICC has to say, when all the BCCI can do is field a depleted team. I feel that when it comes to that the ICC will negotiate with the ICL and give them the rights to represent India on its board of members. Already the ICC and a few of the other nations on the board of members feel that BCCI and the strong arm tactics have to be curbed. Given the opportunity they would side with an ICL for the shear economic reasons attached with the fact that a Billion people would prefer to watch a cricket match with best eleven representing the nation India.
If ICL is serious about their ambition to improve Indian cricket then they should adopt similar or if not better policies in line with the ones adopted by South Africa, which provides members or the country the true %u201CEngine in the Vehicle %u201C a stake in the running of its operations, along with the players and coaching staff.
I really hope this is the start to the end of BCCI, an organisation that has been malignant with cancer and is rotting away. They can hold on to their rested stadiums and mismanaged Nati

I completely agree.. I see this as the beginning of an end to the imcompetent and ridiculous say of BCCI over Indian cricket and cricket lovers of our country.
He says that BCCI will not recognize ICL....By the way did ICL ask you for recognition??? What the hell you think you are?? You have a team of loosers and a management like yourself and that of Sharad Pawar and you expect that somebody needs your recognition.....WAKE UP OLD MAN, time to go to bed for you ,let the youngsters and players take the decisions.... BCCI it will be very good for you if you check yourself otherwise this ICL will become a monster for you and you will be looking for recognition from them, you know why becuase you are all old farts with no cricketing experience and with sarkari babu attitude...I am cribbing to see BCCI polticians playing with their own balls because cricket balls will not be theirs anymore.Cheers to all
