Why Sachin?

Could8217;ve been somebody younger, maybe even Sourav, feels Kapil

.

Sachin Tendulkar8217;s 8216;promotion8217; to vice-captain seems to have remained a controversy. Now even Kapil Dev is finding it strange. He was talking to a television channel on the issue. Some byte-grabs:

Why vice-captaincy?

8226; Sachin has never shown any interest in becoming the captain of the team again. He has never said anything publicly about his desire to become captain again. If he wants to take up the job, he should say it openly and not merely talk to selectors. And it would be an insult to Sachin if the selectors made him the vice captain and then decide to make someone else as captain.

Who can be a good choice?

8226; I feel the vice-captain should have been someone young, so that we could have groomed him for captaincy. Till the time Rahul Dravid is playing, he should remain the captain.

What better choice was there?

8226; In fact, if Sourav Ganguly could fit into the side, he would have been a better deputy.
