Sandeep Patil served as the chairman of the senior selection committee of the Indian men's cricket team from 2012 to 2016. His tenure was associated with a period of change in Indian cricket, when emphasis was being placed on giving opportunities to young talent in place of many experienced players. During a recent conversation at an event, he discussed the decisions of that time and the responsibilities of the selectors.
Patil said that even today it is not easy for him to talk about how big players like Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan had to leave the team or retire. However, he said that these players themselves know why such decisions were taken at that stage of their careers. According to him, the responsibility of the selection committee was to give priority to the interests of the country, the Board of Control for Cricket in India and Indian cricket.
The former chief selector also made it clear that personal relationships cannot be allowed to dominate decisions in team selection. He said that selectors can have friendly relations with players, but it is important to maintain a limit while fulfilling professional responsibilities. Being friends with a player does not mean that he should be given a place in the team only on this basis.
According to Patil, when a person is entrusted with the responsibility of selector, he has to rise above his personal relationships and take decisions in the interest of the Indian team. He said that during selection one should not think about one's relationship with a player, rather one should see what is right for the team and its future. Many times such decisions have to be taken with which even the person making the decision is not comfortable, but it is necessary to take them for the well-being of the team.
He reiterated that decisions like dropping players from the team are not taken on the will of any one person. Collective decisions are taken after deliberations in a committee consisting of five members. Patil described the decisions taken during his tenure as part of this responsibility. According to him, the selectors have to work with the long-term interests of Indian cricket in mind, even if it means taking difficult decisions regarding established and popular players.
There have been questions among fans for a long time about players like Sachin, Yuvraj, Gambhir and Zaheer being out of the team or retiring. Patil's latest statement did not give detailed reasons for any individual player's case, rather he emphasized on the broader principles of the selection process. The main message of his statement was that in the selection of the national team, more importance should be given to the needs of the team and the future of Indian cricket than personal friendship.
