The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) is set to replace two of its national selectors, just two days after the announcement of India’s Asia Cup squad, which saw the return of Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah to the T20I fold. The BCCI has opened applications for two spots in the men’s national selection committee. The selected members will be responsible for picking the Indian team across all formats — Tests, One-Day Internationals, T20 Internationals, and any other formats as determined by the BCCI.
Who is Eligible for National
Selector Positions?
Only cricketers with first-class experience are eligible to become national selectors. A candidate must meet at least one of the following criteria:
A minimum of 7 Test matches;
OR 30 First-Class matches; OR 10 ODIs and 20 First-Class matches.
Additional eligibility requirements:
Must have retired from the game at least 5 years prior.
Must not have been a member of any BCCI Cricket Committee for a cumulative period of 5 years.
Earlier media reports suggested that the current selection committee — comprising Ajit Agarkar, SS Das, Subroto Banerjee, Ajay Ratra, and S Sharath — was under scrutiny. It was reported that changes to the panel could be made at the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Sharath is likely to be replaced by former India spinner Pragyan Ojha.
