Does the word leadership mean anything?

Today I find the problems in the Indian cricket team more serious. If you look at the talent the team has physically unfit players, players who are past their prime in terms of agility, speed and maybe even mental toughness, the lack of a good coach who can get the best from the players. But these are problems that can be solved with training and getting the younger crowd, but is worrisome is something more serious. The team is scheduled to leave for Bangladesh and the board is unwilling to name a vice-captain? There is a lack of leadership. Like Murphy's law, Dravid is injured even before they have set foot on the plane. Where is the leadership, the team does not have a vice-captain?, the administrative leaders (BCCI) is unable to decide who should be the vice-captain, here is bunch of suits with no vision, be it interim or long-term for team India. Now these suits are going to blame the players for not doing the job. Leadership 101: Lead by example.
