Cricket Board job is to organize game in a proper way, look up into the administration and needs of the players.Selectors job is to select a squad by talking with coach and the captain.
In Zimbabwe things are differant, ZC board members and selectors have their go & pressurize captain & coach to feature a particular player they back. Recently, in the qualifiers this happened, when board members pressurized Streak to play Cephas Zuhawao in the playing xi, inspite of his failures. In top cricket nations, as well as upcomming cricket nations like Afghanistan, Ireland, Coach and the Captain has the final word in selecting playing xi, board members & selectors aren't allow to take part in such matters, as it affects the morality of the coach and other players.
Success of Rajput will depend on how much free environment ZC will give him in expressing his ideas and his decisions.BCCI gave him free to express himself when he was World T20 winning coach and one of his surprising decision came was in the final when Rajput & Dhoni handed over debut cap to Yusuf Pathan and send him to open the batting, in place of Shewag that too in the final in a high voltage game against Pakistan.
