VVS Laxman’s letter sheds light on CoA’s treatment of legends: BCCI

New Delhi: With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Ombudsman D.K. Jain asking V.V.S Laxman to explain his position as Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) member and mentor of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the former India batsman pointed at how the CAC was given a little over 24 hours to decide if they wanted to select India’s women’s team coach in December 2018 by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).

This has brought back the question that CoA member Diana Edulji had time and again asked chief Vinod Rai and BCCI CEO Rahul Johri at that time as to what was the hurry in forming an ad-hoc committee to name the next women’s coach, rather than giving the trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Laxman more time to appoint the next coach.

A senior BCCI official said that Edulji’s stance was vindicated by the letter from Laxman and once again showed the unprofessional approach of the CoA in the whole matter of selecting the next women’s coach.

“A lot of noise was made over how Diana was being unreasonable and what not but Laxman’s version has actually put things in perspective and it is shocking how the legends of the game have been treated in this entire episode. To think of it, they may have only one more year on a cricket committee and that would be nothing short of disastrous for Indian cricket. Especially when you consider the fact that they have not really been utilised and have in fact been ignored,” said the official.

“The agenda needs to be seen in perspective now. It is important to note that W.V. Raman may have been the best choice or not is not the issue here, the fact that he was already contracted with the BCCI and his services could in any case have been utilised was a very relevant fact that was brushed aside apparently in order to hurriedly decide this issue even when there was a deadlock in decision making,” the official rued.

In his mail to Jain, Laxman had written: “In December 2018, we were given a little over 24 hours to confirm our availability to be on the panel to select the India women’s head coach. All three of us expressed our inability to participate in the process due to short notice and prior commitments.”

Back in December, Edulji in her mail to GM Cricket Operations Saba Karim, Rai and Johri had written: “Let me reiterate that as per the judgement of 9th Aug 2019 the head coach can only be done by the CAC. We had approached them and they requested for time and directions for their role. Thus the constituting of the ad hoc committee is unconstitutional and I have stated that before the advert was released.”

“I feel we are going down the wrong track and I again state that this committee or selection of head coach is not right. Only the CAC can take a call on this and if they refuse (which they haven’t) then COA has to take the call just like we did in nominating a selector for the junior team,” her mail read.

Back then, it was Johri who in his reply to Edulji’s mail had written about going ahead with the formation of an ad hoc committee to select the next women’s coach on the approval of Rai.
