Sunil Gavaskar urges BCCI to add Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid to advisory panel

Sunil Gavaskar has called on the BCCI to bring Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid onto an expanded Cricket Advisory Committee. He says the three bring different strengths to scheduling decisions in both domestic and international cricket.

Gavaskar points to the Duleep Trophy as proof that players are not getting enough red-ball cricket to be ready for Tests. He asks how a side can prepare when the first-class calendar is so thin and argues that former players can help the board plan across formats instead of reacting match by match.

Gavaskar wants the committee to tackle challenges related to both domestic and international scheduling rather than operating in isolation. He also wonders whether the board will follow through or let the idea drift.
