While Raja Venkat does not have a problem with the choice of the former India players, he feels they will be too busy with their existing duties to look into this matter. &ldquo;Will Agarkar or Dravid have the time to oversee such an important portfolio, since they would be busy with their duties,&rdquo; the 65-year-old&nbsp; former Bengal stalwart asked.
He wants the BCCI to include at least two players who have done exceedingly well in domestic cricket as &ldquo;their experience of playing domestic cricket will be invaluable,&rdquo; said the former batsman.

Another ex-national selector Sambaran Banerjee expressed a similar view. &ldquo;I would want to depend on those cricketers who are champions in the Ranji or Duleep Trophy&mdash;doyens, who played for their state teams for a very long period.

I am glad that the BCCI is thinking of reorganising the Ranji Trophy. [It&rsquo;s a] very good initiative, but there should be enough experience of playing domestic cricket,&rdquo; the former Bengal wicketkeeper remarked.
