Selectors to be shortlisted today
Mumbai: The BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) will finally get down to the work of picking two national selectors at its first meeting here on Tuesday. 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 committee comprising former India cricketers Madan Lal, R. P. Singh and Sulakshana Naik will be shortlisting the candidates for personal interviews. Lal, who had earlier said that 44 applications have been received for two positions, confirmed on Monday that he will be travelling to Mumbai for the meeting. “Yes, I will be going for the meeting but I don’t know the details yet,” he said. However, a BCCI source confirmed that the meeting is scheduled to shortlist the candidates. The CAC is looking for replacements of outgoing selection panel chief MSK Prasad and fellow panel member Gagan Khoda.
