The Chairman plays a good in the game for sure.Many country won many tough matches by the team selection by the Chairman.Ramiz Raja will play a good game this time for Sure.Next 2-3 years,the game will be best part from Pakistan.Now the game of men Pakistan team made good on T20 World Cup.So the same can be expected on the upcoming Asia Cup of 2022.Some of the Asian Nations like India,Bangladesh need to improve their game on the upcoming Asian Game.So this was good move from the Pakistan Board.
Recently I noticed that this thread "Cricket match prediction discussions" has become more of a political discussion thread of cricket.
While we had three separate threads for cricket which include a test matches thread, a one day international thread and the T20 discussion thread.
I always thought what was the need of this thread then, but now i can classify it as a political cricket discussion thread.
By the way I know that this was the first thread about cricket which was created in bitcointalk while the other three were created later.
Here I agree with you, we never need many threads as right now we have here on this forum because we have few members which are involved in cricket discussion and this was manageable, but sadly we can't stop anyone from doing things like this, so they have done, and now we have four threads and still many times we have good mix up of discussion about this all, but it's not issue, so we all are enjoying with this all which is good.While we had three separate threads for cricket which include a test matches thread, a one day international thread and the T20 discussion thread.

The next ICC chairman shouldn't be from India or Pakistan but some other country.
Because if someone from India takes the chair then that individual could potentially start a discussion of PIG-3 type model again (financially).
And if Rambo becomes the head then he'll surely push for PIG-4 series model, he was very vocal about it in the ICC meetings.

. It is entirely another topic that at least in a few countries, politicians are more than interested in the running of cricket bodies.
Yes that quite true. In Pakistan PCB head is taken as lucrative job and is given to one who is politicly affiliated with present government. There are many players in Pakistan who are selected on basis of nepotism like imam ul haq, usman qadir, Azam Khan.
Well.. I thought that PCB is moving in the right direction. Ever since Ramiz Raja became the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), they have implemented many revolutionary changes. And this has not just benefitted the men's team, but also the women's and U-19 teams. Recently they started a U-19 franchise league, which is the first by any ICC member nation. If Ramiz remains as the chairman for another 2-3 years, then cricket in Pakistan would be in much better shape. And also, I believe that PCB should nominate him for the post of ICC chairman next month.

Many things may come up in the discussion but the main point cannot be ignored. So, it is better to discuss within the mentioned tropic. Basically the name of Tropic is “Cricket match prediction discussions” so here related discussions of Tropic will be important. Generally all types of cricket news can be discussed including cricket match predictions. While we had three separate threads for cricket which include a test matches thread, a one day international thread and the T20 discussion thread.

By the way I know that this was the first thread about cricket which was created in bitcointalk while the other three were created later.This is a general discussion topic for cricket. Other threads are mostly being used to discuss about ongoing tournaments and bilateral series, while this thread is used to discuss topics related to administration (including elections to the admin bodies), fund allocation to individual boards, globalization of cricket, inclusion in Olympics.etc. But then, there are no "political discussions" here. We are still restricting the conversations to the domain of cricket. It is entirely another topic that at least in a few countries, politicians are more than interested in the running of cricket bodies.

- He messed up Virat's situation big time. Both were at fault overall but as a BCCI's chief one has to show some grace, he kept leaking private conservation via his shady Journalist (Boria Majumdar), the same guy who got banned from BCCI when he threatened the WK Saha. Dada also went to the media and started talking shit, in response Virat had to come into the media and he literally called him a liar when a journalist asked about his and Dada's conversations and it lead to Virat's resignation from the Test captaincy.
- Dada leaked so much info about almost all players which no one liked.
- He was doing some betting promotion ( which i don't mind at all) but he was BCCI head at the same time. There are some thing called conflict of interest when you are leading a org.
- He delayed the WIPL. He made a fake promise regarding domestic cricketers's salaries during covid and didn't take any steps in this regard until it backfired.
- No need to mention that he overstayed at his position.

Well, if we consider these things, it really feels like he was one of the worst BCCI Presidents. But the point I was trying to make is that when all the candidates are corrupt, obviously you need to choose the one which is the least corrupt and is most likely to help you the most. I cannot say Ganguly was the most ideal president but he was also not the most awful.
I am willing to agree with you on something which is that the Virat Kohli situation was a really big fuck up. He was one of the top players in the world. Ganguly should have helped him but instead, he did the worst thing possible for him.
The other things which you mentioned, I think I will let those slide but not the Virat Kohli situation.
Another thing I would like to know is whether the BCCI has any other suitable candidates besides Ganguly? If so, Ganguly should not be the BCCI President again.
He wasn't worst candidate but he messed up things with the Indian team. Roger Binny will replace him, he has a clean and polite image so let's see.
He wasn't the worst guy but he didn't help his cause much

You know, politics plays a significant role in sports in India. There is obviously no doubt that Ganguly's unwillingness to join the BJP was a crucial factor that impact his re-election as BCCI President in spite of his absence from the BJP. Having said that, I think he did more than a decent job in my opinion.
However, I do agree with you that he did take a huge salary for the job he did. The amount of salary that he received seems to be a large amount considering the amount of work he did. The BCCI, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of organization that can easily afford to spend that kind of money.
I think BCCI was already doing good before Ganguly took over charge. BCCI was on top even since IPL kicked off and its getting popular day by day. Ganguly was lucky that he got the top slot while everything was in order. All he has to do is to manage things up. However, I do agree with you that he did take a huge salary for the job he did.

BCCI needs to have tough things about grounds and other domestic tournaments which bring more talent and with this they can bring more facilities for future players and jobs for local talent as well with the help of Australian set up which is surely right now one of the best in the cricketing world.

Hilarious. How exactly did Ganguly do a good job? He was just another corrupt official who raked in a huge salary annually while doing a mediocre job as the BCCI president. That is the obvious truth.
He most probably got kicked from his position because he wasn't willing to join BJP which ended up screwing him over. Think!

He obviously did his job really well. And I really do not see anyone being able to do this job as well as him.
And yes as far as I know it is not about him resigning or anything. To my knowledge, his duty period is over.
I really wonder why the BCCI says that they are not going to take back Ganguly again at this moment. Especially after he has done a really good job for Indian cricket. The only logical explanation is going to be that they have someone better than Ganguly. Will Roger Binny be more effective than Ganguly!

There is more to it. Ganguly was close to BJP when he took over from Anurag Thakur.
He was tipped to stand in as BJP’s face in West Bengal elections.
But his refusal to criticise West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and not joining BJP did not work in his favour.
Despite meetings with BJP top brass besides Home Minister Amit Shah, he kept himself out of politics.
That is a fair argument and i did not knew these disputes and if you oppose the BJP then you are gone because they have the power on who gets elected and they would find someone that suits their goals.He was tipped to stand in as BJP’s face in West Bengal elections.

ICC is not unbiased, we all know that. It is clear that the ICC will always place money first, even before the improvement of cricket. There's no doubt they recognize that the UAE is a very suitable neutral venue for some big matches, and probably that's why the ICC isn't trying to oppose the UAE. I also believe that ICC realizes that this can be a viable business strategy if UAE is deeply interested in cricket. So my bet is ICC is thinking money above all.
Hope you are aware that the ICC head quarters is in UAE and obviously they did that to save taxes and the UAE government invited them. I would like to know which sports body is not thinking about money. Sports is all about money and how to attract new people to the sport.ICC is not unbiased, we all know that.

So the next president will not rake in huge salary as a favor and dance to the tune of who ever is controlling the show. I never cared to know the previous presidents nor i have no idea what better job they did in the last two decades. If you have some points on that aspect, we might have a debate Hilarious.

Ganguly is about to resign from the BCCI. Roger Binny is the favorite to replace him soon.
Interestingly BCCI also said that they are not backing Ganguly for ICC chairmanship atm. I don't know what's cooking there.
Clearly visible that Ganguly will not tolerate any corruption. For this reason he is forced to move out of that position. He may actually have difficulty in their corruption for which BCCI does not want Ganguly to come back to that position like ICC chairman. It is generally a matter of giving legality to illegal activities.Interestingly BCCI also said that they are not backing Ganguly for ICC chairmanship atm. I don't know what's cooking there.
His tenure is over. Actually, he overstayed at the BCCI's presidency due to some loopholes or covid delay and change was about to happen anyway.
I wonder who is going to be taking his duty after he is gone. He obviously did his job really well. And I really do not see anyone being able to do this job as well as him.

ICC is moving in the opposite direction. They were even considering giving test status to teams such as UAE and Oman. Imagine this, UAE and Oman receiving $16 million per year from the ICC, while Nepal and Kenya receiving just $200,000 per year. And they will use these millions to purchase even more players from India and Pakistan, which will force teams with native players such as Nepal to stop competing in international competitions. Rather than any other rule, the eligibility criteria has negatively impacted the associate nations and destroyed the game in their territories. @Sithara007 ICC is not unbiased, we all know that. It is clear that the ICC will always place money first, even before the improvement of cricket. There's no doubt they recognize that the UAE is a very suitable neutral venue for some big matches, and probably that's why the ICC isn't trying to oppose the UAE.

@Juggy777 I think if a player is not good enough to play for the national team of his own country he should look for another job or something. He should realize that he is not good enough at cricket but maybe he will be better at some other things.

IMO cherry-picking is not a good idea.
Dada might have fallen out with his political connection but no one can deny that he was a big failure as BCCI's boss, not to mention he overstayed so there are many reasons to replace him with a new face and not just political reasons.
Jay Shah is a product of nepotism but at the same time, it's also true he's not that bad with his administrator skills. Being a cricketer and an administrator are 2 different things, it helps if a man in charge is former player but it doesn't guarantee that he'll succeed when leading the board.
Jay Shah is good on the administration, but he holds the power of Dada. So, every decision of Dada will have the words of Jay Shah. If a former player holds the position of Jay Shah now we could've experienced a big change in the Indian cricket. Jay Shah out of nepotism holding position is acceptable, but they should not try mixing cricket and politics which is really bad for the future of cricket. ^
