New Delhi: There are far too many politicians in the BCCI and cutting back on some of them might help it become more professional, according to former Australia captain Ian Chappell who said it is important for the Board to put in place a good team to restore its credibility.

'Too many politicians'
"BCCI has got way too many politicians involved. Cutting back on them isn't a bad start," said Chappell at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit here on Saturday.

Besides Chappell, former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi, opener Gautam Gambhir and Justice Mukul Mudgal were also a part of the panel discussion, where all the panelists demanded more accountability, transparency and honesty from the BCCI.
