Surprised? Chetan Sharma has been retained in the BCCI’s new selection panel and will continue as a chairman. Chetan Sharma, who was sacked a few months ago by the BCCI , was reappointed as the chief selector by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising of Ms Sulakshana Naik, Mr Ashok Malhotra, and Mr Jatin Paranjape. Fans were furious with the decision as under Chetan Sharma’s tenure as chief selector, India had failed to keep a consistent set of players on the field which cost them two major titles in one calendar year – Asia Cup and T20 World Cup.
Official Statement by Jay Shah, Secretary of BCCI –
The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Ms Sulakshana Naik, Mr Ashok Malhotra, and Mr Jatin Paranjape undertook an extensive process for selecting members of the All-India Senior Selection Committee. The Board received around 600 applications following its advertisement for the five posts issued on its official website on 18th November 2022.
Upon due deliberation and careful consideration, the CAC shortlisted 11 individuals for personal interviews. Based on the interviews, the Committee has recommended the following candidates for the Senior Men’s National Selection Committee.
1) Chetan Sharma
2) Shiv Sundar Das
3) Subroto Banerjee
4) Salil Ankola
5) Sridharan Sharath
The committee further recommended Mr Chetan Sharma for the role of Chairman of the senior men’s selection committee.
The new selection committee has its task cut out and will soon announce the squads for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the white-ball series against New Zealand.
