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.
