The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday named Chetan Sharma, Abbey Kuruvilla, and Debasis Mohanty as national selectors.
Speaking to ANI, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) chief Madal Lal confirmed the selection. “Yes, they have been appointed. Now, the one who has played maximum matches will be the chief,” he said. A three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) headed by Madan Lal, RP Singh, and Sulakshana Naik conducted the interviews for national selectors on Thursday.
While 11 candidates were interviewed, the Madan Lal-led Cricket Advisory Committee recommended Sharma, Kuruvilla and Mohanty for the three vacant positions. The BCCI confirmed that Sharma – who has more Test caps – will take over as the chief selector.
The same committee had earlier appointed Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh as national selectors earlier this year. Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar had also applied for the post of national selector. Agarkar was being pitted as the front runner for the post as he has played 200 matches for India, but in the end, he was not selected for the role.
