APPOINTMENT// In its working committee meet in Kolkata on April 26, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has expressed its desire to appoint the legendary trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid as advisors on all cricketrelated matters. The BCCI decided to seek the approval of the three cricket legends on the matter. The Board wants the cricketers to advise it on all important cricketing matters, including the appointment of national coach. Earlier, Ganguly and Dravid were being seen as candidates to replace Duncan Fletcher as the next coach of Team India as his contract was over after the ICC World Cup.

Their possible appointment as advisors might mean they are no long in contention for the top job. Their expertise is considered valuable as the three cricketers who together served Indian cricket on the field for decades and are known as the stalwarts of Indian cricket.
