Not sure i agree with the 2nd part of your comment. there are several examples of passion without work ethics. work ethics is something that needs to cultivated. some people also say that because of a general lack of manufacturing industries in India, work ethics are not there which are traditionally learnt at the shop floor or in the military or by working in foreign countries where there is a strong work ethic. -Sukumar Archana,

The reason we fail is because there is too much politics involved in selection. When you have the passion then your work ethics cannot be poor. You will do best and work hard regardless of whether you are paid or have good endorsements etc. Politics in a bane not only in cricket but it all fields. I am sure there are people with poor work ethics all over the world. The only difference is that they cannot survive/progress any where else except India. As long as you know how to work around this politics you can get away with lot of things here. If we can change this, India will be unstoppable. I agree with Ramesh.

Let me explain: In India most of the families depend on single income for survival. When it comes to sportsmen, if they make it big, they feel the natural need to cling on to their position of power and their 'Earning Opportunity'. The average sportsmen don't earn enough. And they don't also have any other means of supporting their families. In other countries, players are truly passionate about the sports and their lives and families are not as much dependent on "making money" as is the case in India. I believe this puts a lot of pressure on the players. Also, BCCI takes a cut from the players advertising contracts. That makes them reluctant to drop non-performing stars. And that is the second reason for the state of Cricket in India. For those who don't know, BCCI is registered in Bermuda and they do not disclose their books. There is a case filed by an Indian against BCCI to make their Financial Records public. BCCI needs to be made a not-for-profit organization with no 'Quota' system for selection. Only then the BCCI will stop thinking about making money and improving the quality of the team.

I hear that the BCCI is considering a pay for performance type model. And yes, it should be tied to team performance as well. good one Arun.
