On Board Test, Trial And Triumph: My Years In Bcci

Ratnakar Shetty . Rupa Publications India . English

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is an institution that elicits/ extreme reactions. While some marvel at the remarkable work it has done/ to promote and develop cricket in India and elsewhere, others decry it as/ being myopic, arrogant and money-minded. However, nobody can deny the/ impact the BCCI has had not only on Indian cricket, but also international/ cricket and the influence it commands. Over the years, the professionalism/ and excellence displayed by Indian cricketers on the field of play has been/ complemented by the zeal and diligence of those who worked tirelessly/ behind the scenes to take Indian cricket to where it is today./ On Board offers the reader an opportunity to walk through the corridors/ of this extraordinary institution and enter its meeting rooms, where/ many issues were discussed and momentous decisions taken. Penned by/ Prof. Ratnakar Shetty, who has been an integral part of the BCCI's evolution/ from being just a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to the/ most powerful cricket board on the planet, the book is an engaging read./
