It is a MASTER STROKE from Zee! Such an initiative was expected of BCCI for a long time. This should bring the BCCI to its senses and induce some action. I am sure BCCI will resist it will everything in its power. And the expectation that Zee is going to deliver on its promise is utopia. Going by its experience with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, it will have cricketers on its payroll and for all you know - they will be doing concerts and endorsements on the cricket ground in between overs - Zee is commercialized to the hilt. However, the offer itself should start the ball rolling and we should begin to see some welcome changes in the Indian cricketing structure... a welcome news after a long spell of World Cup gloom.

y only cricket, y did subash chandra respnd to the losses of cricket and not the national sprt hockey or football or for that matter atheletics, there are so many sports in india that need immediate attn, and y to a sport which is already saturated with lots of money,
I guess the reason is other sports are not as lucrative as cricket in India is, mr chandra ur not doing a favor to india by having such academies, u wd better invest atleast 10 percent of ur investment to improve primary education in india, which u ednt do becos it isnt lucrative at alll, all ur bothered is to how to get hold of govt land for peanuts(padmalaya studio land at hyd) ridiculous, dont pretend to be a messiah of cricket u hypocrite

Dude.. Subhash Chandra is not a politician and you can expect him to improve primary education and stuff... He is here to make money..He is doing his part as an Indian by employing so many people and the end of the day he need to pay salaries and bonuses to his employees..he cannot invest in something where he is going to loose money..
