Kesavan thinks the main reason why almost the entire Hyderabad team has preferred to join the Indian Cricket league is due to the quota system,
The quota here refers to the selection of sons of ex-cricketers in the teams that matter at the cost of other arguably more talented players. The ex-cricketer and son that I am referring to are Shivlal Yadav and his son Arjun Yadav. In the last season, Arjun Yadav hadn’t done anything of note and yet was rewarded with a place in the India A team. He also finds a place in all the South Zone teams. There cannot be any other reason for such a mediocre achiever to go places other than the power his dad wields with the Hyderabad Cricket Association. And incidentally, Shivlal Yadav’s previous claim to fame was the selection of Noel (who?) David.

This whole quota issue is ruining and eating away our country. While the world is moving on ahead, India is just going backwards in the regards of understanding how reservations only further highlight the boundary between castes and classes.
And from there, you have these quotas in cricket too!? This is just getting worse…

In America we find terms such as “quotas” and “reservations” offensive.
Yeah, we DO have quotas in America. We have quotas all over the place. But we prefer to call them by the term “affirmative action”. It is a much nicer term.
