BCCI appoints new Senior Men Selection Committee - Chetan Sharma is Chief Selector

[happydavy]

Funny bit is Chetan Sharma, the current chairman of selection committee, who was apparently sacked from the job has applied again for the same job and he will be selected again in that job. This will make the whole process a joke. You sack a guy who reapplies for the same position and gets his job back, that's the joke what we call Indian cricket. Chetan is a political appointee who has lost multiple lok sabha elections.

Said it many days back, this was bound to happen once i read the news that Chetan had reappllied.

So all this was just to fire all the other selectors?

The Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has invited applications for one member of Men's Selection Committee. The notice was posted on the official website and was also shared on all social media platforms by the cricket governing body. The last date of application for the position will be June 30 and the selected candidates will then have to go through the interview process.

Unless BCCI is offering 4-5cr for the post, we will have another light weight selector who will be a rubber stamp.

Despite all the media hoopla over having a big name selector and the example of Dilip Vengsarkar(2006-2008) being given, i doubt a big name will come.

And the team management will be the defacto selectors.

BCCI invites applications for position of national selector for senior men's team

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for a solitary position in the senior men’s national selection committee.

Though the notice put up on the board’s website does not specify who it would replace from the current five-member committee led by Ajit Agarkar, reports had earlier suggested that the axe could fall on Salil Ankola, since the BCCI does not want two selectors from the west zone.

According to the notice, the ideal candidate should have played a minimum of seven Test matches or 30 first-class games or 10 ODIs and 20 first-class fixtures. The candidate should also have retired at least five years ago, and no member who has been part of any cricket committee for a total of five years shall be eligible for the role. Interestingly, the notice does not mention any age cap.

Though the BCCI had appointed a five-member committee with Chetan Sharma as its chairman in January last year, a sting operation conducted by a television channel forced Sharma to resign from the post. Former India fast bowler Agarkar, who hails from west zone, took charge as the chairman late last year, and now with January 25 as the deadline, it would be interesting to see who applies for the role.

Apart from Agarkar and Ankola, Subroto Banerjee, Shiv Sunder Das and S Sharath are the other members of the panel, which surprisingly, does not have a candidate from the north zone.
