Cleaning up cricket

July 21, 2016 12:38 am | Updated 12:38 am IST

For long, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has been working in an opaque manner, almost becoming a den for a few elite, well-connected individuals ( >Editorial , July 20). There has been no visible player representation. Rather than being a ‘sporting club’, it has functioned more as a ‘business venture’. Nobody even knows how much salary the board members draw. Being the world’s richest cricket board, scrutiny of its management practices and accounting methods is needed. The Ministry of Sports must have some kind of regulatory control over all our sporting bodies.
