In the Name of Cricket: Why pay 25 lakhs when I am willing to do it for free?

Why pay 25 lakhs when I am willing to do it for free?

I am unhappy with the BCCI for throwing good money after the bad.
In case you are wondering what I am blabbering about, I am referring to BCCI's decision to award each selector with a honorarium of 25 lakhs.
This magnanimity is unwarranted as I can point out to a whole host of bloggers who are already doing the selectors job i.e., selecting the Indian team and are willing to continue doing it for free.
Guess all the spare change lying in its coffers has turned BCCI's head.
