Gavaskar urges BCCI to make big change, names Sachin, Dravid for key role
Sunil Gavaskar has proposed that the BCCI expand the Cricket Advisory Committee's mandate to include broader administrative duties like scheduling. He suggested that legendary former cricketers should be appointed to this committee to improve the governance of Indian cricket.
Why it matters
Changes to the BCCI's advisory structure could significantly impact the strategic direction and professionalization of Indian cricket management.

Gavaskar has previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the rule, which has continued to attract criticism over several domestic seasons.According to Gavaskar, the CAC could play a much larger role in addressing such issues and shaping the future of Indian cricket.Gavaskar wants bigger role for CACThe current CAC appointments date back to 2022, when Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjape and Sulakshana Naik were named to the three-member panel.
