Infighting hurts coa's credibility

Appointment of coaches, handling of conflict of interest, sexual harassment charges and power to take decisions-there are many flashpoints that triggered an explosive e-mail from Edulji, where she accused Rai of ignoring her inputs. Rai has refrained from making public statements, but used the media tactfully to express his views. This conflict has caused happiness in sections of the BCCI, where members in the past did their bit to make CoA's life difficult. They are having a quiet chuckle, considering that each word in the Rai-Edulji crossfire is a blotch on their credibility. Guha's resignation questioning the CoA's manner of functioning caused a stir initially before dying down. The latest episode gives the BCCI officials fresh ammunition. Although the court's intervention looks inevitable at this stage, there is no clarity over when that would happen. It's also not certain that normalcy would return to the CoA after one hearing. This leaves the Board in an unprecedented limbo. There have already been several complaints about the structuring and conduct of domestic matches. The weird timing of the IPL auctions has also raised eyebrows. Rai and Edulji could not have chosen a worse time to make their differences public. Dailyhunthttps://anotepad.com/notes/hb3bet
