BCCI's CAC on Wednesday announced the names of former India cricketers Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh for the All-India National Selection Committee (Men).
Sunil Joshi was appointed as the new BCCI Chairman of Selectors by the BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee on Wednesday.
CAC has suggested the names of Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh for the position of the two India selectors that were left vacant
Five candidates --Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, Venkatesh Prasad, Rajesh Chauhan, Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh was asked a common question on Dhoni, who has not played since the World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand in July.
The two new members will join Devang Gandhi, Sarandeep Singh and Jatin Paranjape, who will finish their term later this year, in the selection committee.
The CAC, comprising former India players Madan Lal, Sulakshana Naik and RP Singh, started the process at the BCCI headquarters in South Mumbai this noon.
The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) will shortlist candidates for the BCCI selectors' job on March 3.
Lal said that while there isn't any fixed date as to when the announcement of the two new selectors will be made, the former all-rounder expects the process to finish by March 1 or 2.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last Friday announced the appointment of its CAC. The three-member committee comprises Madan Lal, Rudra Pratap Singh and Sulakshana Naik.
The 34-year-old from Uttar Pradesh is the youngest CAC member. Lal is 68 and Naik is 41.
The CAC's immediate task will be to pick replacements for outgoing selectors MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda.
Kapil Dev was appointed as the head of the ad-hoc committee earlier in July this year with the CAC given the responsibility to select India's next head coach for the men's and women's team.
The application process for Team India's new head coach ended on July 30, and we take a look at all the developments surrounding the selection procedure so far.
The Cricket Advisory Committee, which has been put in charge for the selection of new head coach of team India, is yet to provide the undertaking of conflict of interest, according to reports.
This effectively means that the legendary trio would be entrusted with the duty of taking all cricket related policy decisions including the choice of two new selectors.
The controversy over the appointment of Dravid and Zaheer had taken a new turn on Saturday with the BCCI forming a four-member committee to take a call on the assistant coaches for the national team.
"The shameful treatment of Anil Kumble has now been compounded by the cavalier treatment of Zaheer Khan and Rahul Dravid," Guha tweeted.
As per the minutes of the meeting, the "appointments of other consultants will be decided by the committee in consultation with the head coach".
Zaheer reportedly did not wish to commit more than 100 days but with CAC insisting, it is now a done deal for 150 days.
The legendary trio of Ganguly, Tendulkar and Laxman reminded Rai of an e-mail where he had apparently given them a free hand in picking the coach of the Indian cricket team.
