ON BOARD TEST, TRIAL AND TRIUMPH: My Years in BCCI
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is an institution that elicits
extreme reactions. While some marvel at the remarkable work it has done
to promote and develop cricket in India and elsewhere, others decry it as
being myopic, arrogant and money-minded. However, nobody can deny the
impact the BCCI has had not only on Indian cricket, but also international
cricket and the influence it commands. Over the years, the professionalism
and excellence displayed by Indian cricketers on the field of play has been
complemented by the zeal and diligence of those who worked tirelessly
behind the scenes to take Indian cricket to where it is today.
On Board offers the reader an opportunity to walk through the corridors
of this extraordinary institution and enter its meeting rooms, where
many issues were discussed and momentous decisions taken. Penned by
Prof. Ratnakar Shetty, who has been an integral part of the BCCI's evolution
from being just a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to the
most powerful cricket board on the planet, the book is an engaging read.

A book by a BCCI Jingchuk (Tamil word to be adopted by Oxford dictionary) who sings paeans about himself and the administrators of BCCI, which just got lucky with money because so many other things fell in place.

This books gives some great insight about BCCI right from its inception days to now. The Author has been a part of Cricket Administration 30 odd years and has seen the way Cricket board functions. Must read if you are an Indian Cricket fan.
