Yes correct. No point picking pacers solely based on the speed gun. I spoke to a senior official of a leading bank asking why they are not sponsoring such a hunt. Said previous editions havent yielded the desired result which would justify continuous involvement. Companies are splashing so much on BPL, yet we cant find one responsible party to start this project? And theres no doubt BCB wont start anything on its own.
Remember how Andy Roberts came in and worked with a few pacers like Mashrafee, Talha Jubair. Even those things are not happening. If we cant bring in someone on a full time basis at least bring in someone as a consultant who will participate in scouting, talent development etc.
