Former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar has called out the BCCI and its selection committee for not grooming a young player as captain when India's tours overlapped. He felt that the selectors could have prepared a new skipper instead of handing the team's reins to Shikhar Dhawan. To ensure that the main squad members are well-rested, the selectors sent B teams to some overseas tours, with veteran Shikhar Dhawan as the captain. They made Shikhar Dhawan India captain (when tours overlapped and main players were unavailable); it is where you can groom the future captain,” Vengsarkar told Hindustan Times. "- Dilip Vengsarkar thinks earning crores from IPL media rights should not be BCCI's only achievementDilip Vengsarkar further highlighted that although the BCCI has earned insane amounts by selling IPL media rights, they have not been able to form proper bench strength.
