Sachin as VC makes no sense!!

The decision to appoint Sachin Tendulkar as Dravid's deputy for the WI series is baffling.What more, rumours are floating that Sachin would replace Dravid after WC if Dravid fails and this simply makes no sense.If the selection committee feels this would put Rahul on his toes, they are mistaken.Making this move just 8 games prior to WC simply puts extra pressure on Rahul.Sachin doesn't need a VC tag to help Dravid.I feel senior players like Sachin,Sourav and Kumble should be always there to help Rahul make decisions.Making a player who is at the fag end of his career as VC and that too with the intention of making him a captain in future is insensible to say the least.In first place, Why appoint a VC? Are there ICC rules which state every team needs to have a VC? It should be decided among the senior members who will take charge if Dravid is off the field for some reasons (like in football where the captain passes the captain's armband). Thats it!! Its sad that BCCI selection committee comes up with some strange decisions at crucial moments. I hope this does not affect Rahul as a captain and a player.
