Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and V V S Laxman joined the BCCI in a newly-constituted advisory panel to guide the Board in all matters related to the game. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur twitted to announce the induction of the three greats of Indian cricket, a move which was on cards for some time. The 42 year-old Tendulkar played a whopping 200 Tests. The 43-year-old Ganguly played in 113 Tests and the 40-year-old Laxman played in 134 Tests. This is besides the large number of ODIs the three Cricket greats played.
