Being elected unopposed raises questions about the democratic process. Would have preferred to see some healthy competition for such important positions.

TN cricket has produced so many legends - from Srinivas Venkataraghavan to Ravichandran Ashwin. Hope the new team maintains this legacy and identifies more talent from smaller towns.

The cooling-off period rule is good for preventing power concentration. Hope the new leadership focuses on improving facilities at Chepauk stadium and making it more fan-friendly.
