1. Drop Suckrav Gaandgooli now!!! That guy is worthless, unathletic, lethargic and plays politics. He is a team/morale-killer!!!

2. Forbid the centrally contracted cricketers from having any other source of income that exploits theier presence in Team BCCI.

3. Retain Dravid as captain. Dont even think of making Sachin the captain. He is one of the most unimaginative captains ever. So predictable. Remember Jayasuriya-Mahanama mammoth partnership!! That happened under his belt. And Team BCCI lost on Indian soil for the first time in many decades to SA under him. I was at that match - the one just before Cronjegate. He was still unimaginative.

4. Ban Agarkar for life. He has had his chances and never came up big. Pick young fast bowlers and dont be a team that depends on three spinners with 8 men around the bat appealing for everything. That does not work outside India. Make pitches that reward fast bowlers and not darpok batsmen like Ganguly.

5. Pick athletic and fit players for one dayers. Players who can run singles, rotate strike and field well. For tests go with cricketing skill.

6. Have one TEST team for all of India but then have four one day teams. If England, Ireland, Scotland and Holland can field 11 players with less than 1/2 of our population then we can slo field four teams - South, West, North and Esat-Central. That way criket will become more local and also give oppurtunities to many more people.
