If Rahul had really said that to the Board, then it is time for the BCCI should have named a Junior as the captain (Yuvaraj, Dinesh Karthick, or someone whoe place is certain) and left the seniors to maintain their places based on their performances. They have done it before when they named Mohd. Azharuddin as the skipper in the late eighties. Azhar had three ex captains in his team, i.e., Kapil, Vengsarkar and Srikanth.

Azhar got rid of them very cleverly dravid is just following the same path ( less cleverly? )
Dravid has no respect from the existing senior players. That%u2019s why he is looking for new players who will be grateful for the chance in the team. He is too introvert & self centered to be a captain.

But the problem is nobody in the list you said are not so accomplished players and BCCI donot have guts to make such decisions. If SA can make G.Smith as a captain , why cant we make somebody like Yuvraj or Dhoni a captain and ask all seniors to play under them by giving an extended period of arround one year to the new captain?
