Laxman Sivaramakrishnan is already one of the "Voice of BCCI" in BCCI Production, VB Chandrashekar also did commentary for BCCI in domestic matches and rest they can use many newbies for the job.

Yes I think there maybe the scneario where 3 matches are played maybe that's the reason for that but I agree wth you they should have used Star Sports HD 4 for another sporting eventsSo they will telecast matches on all Star Sports HD channels
They should have atleast spared Star Sports HD4 channel from cricket. Any match day where 3 matches are being played?
