If we listened carefully, we will have realied that succession planning has been the catch phrase for a while. From Ratan Tata to Steve Jobs, Narayan Murthy to KK Modi, from Dalai Lama to the Chinese Government, we have heard them all espouse, if not entirely implement, succession planning.
Somehow, the catch phrase seemed to have escaped the attention of those who matter in Indian cricket. Else, we would not have been left dealing with a situation that with so little positive peer-pressure on the team now. Such pressure would have been among the factors motivating the team to higher levels of adaptation and self-confidence.
