As expected, the Board has formed a sub-committee of some of the greatest captains the country has produced so far.

Soon, they will scrutinise the reports of the captain and the coach of Team India. I hope they will also try to get some feedback from the players to find out what was going on within the four walls of the dressing room.

I also hope that it’s not just an eyewash. Some names like Tiger Patuadi and Nari Contrator, the thinker, are missing.

In a way, the team had saved the Board a fortune as it was decided to take its 30 officials and some friends and kin on a jamboree trip to West Indies for the dinner with the President and the players on a cruise. Looks like the board is taking some valuable tips from the Indian Olympic Association, which is supposed to be well known in such gala gatherings abroad.
