PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

ITS NOT JUST CRICKET

CRICKET HANDICAPS OUR NATION IN SPORTS

CRICKET IS A SPORT LIMITED TO ONLY 8 – 10 COUNTRIES WHO CAN PRODUCE COMPETITIVE TEAMS

SO INDIA REGULARLY FEATURES IN THE TOP 10 IN “WORLD” CRICKETINDIAN CRICKETERS REGULARLY CREATE “WORLD” RECORDS

WORLD CUP CRICKET IS LIKE COMMONWEALTH GAMES COMPARED TO SOCCER WORLD CUP WHICH IS LIKE THE OLYMPIC GAMES

ITS RELATIVELY EASY TO BECOME A “WORLD” CLASS CRICKETER THAN A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE IN OTHER MORE COMPETITIVE DISCIPLINES

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

IN FACT CRICKET IS ONE OF THE LEAST COMPETITIVE SPORTS GLOBALLY

SOCCER – 25,000 PROFESSIONAL TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD

GOLF & TENNIS – 150 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD COMPETE FOR BILLIONS IN PRIZE MONEYINDIAN PUBLIC THINKS OUR CRICKETERS ARE WORLD CLASS

UNLESS CRICKET IS RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT IT ISINDIA’S REAL “WORLD” CLASS SPORTSMEN WILL NOT GET THEIR DUE

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

ITS NOT JUST CRICKET

THIS DISTORTED VIEW DISCOURAGES YOUNGSTERS FROM PURSUING INTERNATIONAL LEVELS IN OTHER DISCIPLINES

THE DISTORTED MEDIA COVERAGE AND ADULATION PREVENTS REAL WORLD CLASS SPORTSPERSONS FROM GETTING TRUE RECOGNITION AND COMMERCIAL REWARDS

YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO THE INDIAN CRICKET STARS IF CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, TAIWAN, USA, GERMANY, EASTERN EUROPE AND LATIN AMERICA BEGAN COMPETING

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

HOW ?

MEDIA MUST BE EDUCATED ON THE HUGE DISPARITIES BETWEEN COMPETITION LEVELS IN CRICKET AND OTHER SPORTS LIKE SOCCER, ATHLETICS, GOLF , TENNIS, BASKETBALL AND OTHERS

JEEV MILKHA SINGH’S #40 RANKING IN WORLD GOLF MUST GET GREATER RECOGNITION AS IT RIVALS #1 BATSMAN RANKING IN “WORLD” CRICKET

MANY OTHER SPORTING FEATS DESERVE MUCH MORE PUBLIC RECOGNITION AND REWARD

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

ITS NOT JUST CRICKET

THE CORPORATE WORLD MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO USE ENDORSEMENT OF TRUE WORLD CLASS SPORTSPERSONS

MEDIA SHOULD FOCUS ON NON CRICKET SPORTS STARSONCE THESE STARS ARE PUBLICLY RECOGNISED – THEY WILL GET THEIR DUE REWARDS

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

SO VISION 2020 OF INDIAN SPORTS WILL SEE A

MORE

BALANCED VIEW OF SPORTS

LESS PUBLIC INFATUATION WITH CRICKET AND

MORE RECOGNITION FOR TRUE GLOBAL STARS

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

ACCOUNTABLE SPORTS FEDERATIONS

CURRENT STRUCTURE OF SPORTS FEDERATIONS IS KILLING DEVELOPMENT

FEDERATION BOSSES INSTALL STATE ASSOCIATION BOSSES IN ORDER TO GET RE ELECTED

EVENTS AND TEAM SELECTIONS ARE EXCHANGED FOR VOTES

THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY

MOST FEDERATION HEADS HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR OVER 20 YEARS

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

CHANGE REQUIRED

MANDATORY LIMIT OF 2-3 YEARS FOR FEDERATION CHAIRPERSONS

BOARDS OF MANAGEMENT TO CONSIST OF INTERNATIONAL STARS IN EACH DISCIPLINE

THE BOARD APPOINTS A CEO WITH CLEARLY DEFINED POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES

PROFESSIONAL CEO’S MANAGE THE NBA, NFL, MLS, ATP, PGA TOURS ETC IN AMERICA

EACH CEO TO APPOINT MARKETING AND OPERATIONS MANAGERS

FEDERATIONS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO PUBLIC LIKE PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN

INTER SCHOOL & COLLEGE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS

CURRENT THERE IS NO SERIOUS COLLEGE SPORT THAT THE PUBLIC FOLLOWS

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES CAN BE THE DRIVERS OF COMPETITIVE SPORT

MODEL OF THE NCAA – NATIONAL COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IN USA SCHOLARSHIPS AND RECOGNITION FOR AHTLETES ON COLLEGE TEAMSNATIONALLY TELEVISED AND PUBLICISED COMPETITION WILL CREATE INCENTIVE

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PRIDE TO WIN COMPETITIONS WILL DRIVE DEVELOPMENT

PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN
