Today at MCA Lounge had the honour of attending the release of Ratnakar Shetty’s book ‘On Board, Test Trial Triumph’. A brilliant take on the success of our national cricket team. Give it a read. #MCA #BookLaunch https://t.co/oWj4anq4bm (from X)

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.
