Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) new selection committee is likely to be formed in January next year, according to sources. The sources said that the board’s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), comprising former player Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe and Sulakshana Mail, is expected to meet on December 30 to start the process to pick up the members of the new selection committee . In November, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) dismissed the National Selection Committee headed by Chetan Sharma and invited new applications.
Apart from chief selector Sharma, the selection committee also consisted of Sunil Joshi, Harvinder Singh and Debashish Mohanty.
A release by the country’s highest governing body of cricket set out the criteria for those wishing to apply for the positions.
“Should have played a minimum of 7 Test matches or 30 First Class matches, or 10 ODI and 20 First Class matches,” read the official BCCI statement.
“Should have retired from the game at least 5 years ago and no person who has served a total of 5 years on a Cricket Commission (as defined in BCCI’s Rules and Regulations) shall be eligible to serve on the Men’s Selection Committee’, added the release.
The deadline for submitting applications was 28 November 2022.
The decision came after India’s humiliating ten-wicket loss to England in the semi-final of the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.
