After being at the receiving end of the national selectors' whims, Sourav Ganguly now has a chance to right the system.
The former India skipper was on Friday named in a list of six past and present cricketers who would give their views on a number of issues, including overhauling the present system of team selection.
The others in the list are: Dilip Vengsarkar, K Srikkanth, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, a statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India said.
These "special invitees" would "examine the present system of selection of national and state teams and of umpires and suggest ways to make them more efficient and foolproof," the statement added.
The BCCI also announced that it has set up an 11-member Special Committee under the chairmanship of Punjab Cricket Association chief I S Bindra to work out ways for optimum utilisation of resources.
The committee has been asked to finalise its report in four weeks.
Other areas the committee will look into include "suggesting efficient ways of utilisation of resources and developing world class infrastructure from grass roots to international level".
