Before I start .. first change the big name BCCI and make it something small like INDIA CRICKET or CRICKET INDIA ( All teams in World have small names for boards.. Ex: "Srilanka Cricket" , "Cricket Australia" etc... ). We are still living in olden days having big name like BCCI (so old fashioned).
1) Players above 30 years should not play at all. They cannot run fast between wickets after becoming father of children and all. They are no longer young and agile and they cany sprint on the field and run to save ball on the boundary also. Any player can play till his age is 29 yrs and 364 days only.
Youngsters should be always be given chance as they are young blood and have lot of enthusiasm and spirit to play for country.
Look at Bangladesh ( 3 Teenagers (17,. 18,19 years age) scored 50s against India)
There should be a rule that atleast 4 to 5 players in Indian team should be below 25 years of age at all times.
2) No Ads for cricketers. NO ADs at all. They get paid lakhs and lakhs of Rupees by Cricket Board and they are contracted by the board and receive monthly money also even if play match or not. ADs should not distract the players from the game. Atleast 100 days before World Cup , the cricket Board should ensure that players dont waste time on Ads. But after 30 years (after retirement they can do any number of Ads on TV or wherever they want).
3) Complete cricket board (100% of Board) should be made up of only Ex-cricketers (and cricket officials who understand INDIAN CRICKET and know the game fully). All people for all posts in the Board should be Ex-cricketers only and no politicians please.
4) No foreign coaches at all. They can't speak Hindi at all and they cannot understand Indian way of thinking and relate to Indian players. Greg Chappel can't speak Hindi to Sehwag and Sehwag cant speak English with Greg. So what communication can happen ? Also Greg is not an Indian and he wont bother or feel if India wins or loses. He is Australian. We need INDIAN EX-CRICKETER as our coach who understands Indian feelings and sentiment and who speaks Indian language and is an integral part of Team India.
KAPIL DEV won a World Cup for India in 1983. Did Greg Chappel win any World Cup for Australia anytime ? Then on what basis we can him as coach and not our own KAPIL PAAJEE who can speak nice Hindi also with all our players ?
5) Pay for performance. Indian cricketers should get paid as per their performance in Domestic level and similar rating system (as used by ICC to rate International cricketers) should help selectors choose only top 15 people who are currently rated high. No regionalism or politics. Only performance based selection.
6) Have more meditation classes and spiritual training for India rather than Army training so that players relax and also learn to focus ni tense situations and BIG crucial MUST WIN matches and learn to patiently take SINGLES (1s and 2s) and rotate strike and keep wickets for final assault , rather than play agricultural shots or meaningless lofted shots like gully cricketers (Only 4s or 6s are not needed always.. Patience and sticking to basics helps any team and Indian team also win.. which is what Srilanka did.. score 113 singles in between after loss of early wickets).
All we can do now is hope some of these steps (if not all) are implemented atleast for 2011 World Cup and pray India atleast goes to round-2 of 2011 WC.
