Two New Members of Senior Selection Committee Chosen

It is a strange reality, not just in India but around the world, that often the National Selectors are players who have reached the top, but have not done that well.  Maybe it is something about the struggles they faced or something else that motivates them to seek out these positions... but the latest two candidates join three others similarly undistinguished.  There is no requirement that a Selector be a great player, but in the past some of the best Selectors have been cricketers who have had a lot of success in their playing days.

The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Mr Madan Lal, Mr Rudra Pratap Singh and Ms Sulakshana Naik on Wednesday met at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai to select the members of the All-India Senior Selection Committee (Men).

The CAC has recommended the following candidates for the senior men’s selection committee panel.

1. Mr Sunil Joshi

2. Mr Harvinder Singh

The committee further recommended Mr Sunil Joshi for the role of Chairman of the senior men’s selection committee. The CAC will review the candidates after a one-year period and make the recommendations to the BCCI.

The two new members will join Mr Devang Gandhi, Mr Sarandeep Singh and Mr Jatin Paranjape, who will finish their term later this year, in the selection committee.
