One national selector will be removed when the BCCI welcomes fresh applications for the men’s selection committee
One of the four national members of Ajit Agarkar’s men’s selection committee is expected to be dismissed after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) accepted new applications on Monday.
Agarkar is now backed by Salil Ankola, Subroto Banerjee, Shiv Sunder Das, and S Sharath.
While Agarkar and Ankola are from the West Zone, Banerjee is from the East Zone, Das from the Central Zone, and Sharath from the South Zone.
Selection committees are frequently made up of one person from each zone. That is one of the reasons why earlier reports claimed Ankolka may be leaving the committee.
Although it is unclear who will apply today, Maninder Singh, Nayan Mongia, Rajesh Chauhan and Sameer Dighe were among those who applied for two open positions in November of last year.
Eventually, Ankola and Banerjee received the assignment.
The next selector’s first big task would be to choose squads for the remaining three home Tests against England.
