I guess that there is a whole set of ministry in the central govenment of India for promoting sports in the country including cricket. Let us hope that it is doing and trying its best to achieve their targets. Hope BCCI's move is meant to complement the same rather doing something new. Ministry of Sports has already got enough fund allocated to them.
What is that great thing that ministry had done all these years? We had a great hocky team, now what is that teams position? This ministry is not able to keep them winning. Other sports we where on the same position, were we where on 10 years back. Then what they are doing? So I think its better don't talk about such ministry. Its not all about funds, its all about how you are going to use that funds.

Now we have only one option, how BCCI is going to utilise their funds on other sports, because over the years we had seen all other options lots of time, nothing seems to be working. So lets hope this one will work.....
