CAC To Shortlist Candidates For Two-Member Selection Panel

Finally, the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) panel administered to pick the selectors started to shortlist candidates for the role of national selector. The committee comprising former India cricketers Madan Lal, R P Singh and Sulakshana Naik will be shortlisting the candidates for personal interviews.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) will meet CAC at the Board’s headquarters in Mumbai on Tuesday and is likely to shortlist the candidates for the role of national selectors.

We have been asked to be in Mumbai on Tuesday: RP Singh

The three-member CAC, which is supposed to pick the selectors as per the BCCI constitution, has not had much to do since its appointment on January 31.

The CAC was appointed on January 31 and on Tuesday, the three-member panel will meet for the first time.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah is also likely to be present for the meeting.

“We have been asked to be in Mumbai on Tuesday for a meeting. I don’t know the details of the meeting,” Madan Lal, who is one of the members of the CAC, told Sportstar.

The other two members of the committee are RP Singh and Sulakshana Naik.

Sourav Ganguly to be available during the meeting:

If the reports are to believe, the president of the BCCI, Sourav Ganguly will also present during the meeting.

However, the former Indian skipper is yet to speak on the issue. He has always ignored questions regarding the selection panel.

As many as 44 candidates had sent out their applications for the two vacant slots. It is learnt that the new members will be included in the selection panel much in time before the ODI series against South Africa — which gets underway later this month
