On the appointments of Zaheer Khan and Rahul Dravid, the CAC members- Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and V.V.S Laxman wrote a letter to the Committee of Administrator (CoA) chief Vinod Rai and Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary.

"Taking various factors into account, we decided that Ravi Shastri was the best man for the job (head coach), but we also felt that Indian cricket would be better served if Shastri had the services of Zaheer Khan as bowling consultant and Rahul Dravid as batting consultant for overseas Test matches, of which several are lined up in the next two years." the letter reads.

The letter further added that "it has both pained and disappointed us, therefore, to see the light in which the CAC has been portrayed in various sections of the media".
