MUMBAI: The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) on Friday sacked the entire senior men’s selection committee led by former Indian pacer Chetan Sharma.
As per the press release sent out by the BCCI on Friday night, the board announced that it was accepting new applications for the five national selectors’ posts.
As per the media release, the deadline for fresh applications has been set as November 28.
BCCI’s decision of sacking the selection committee presumably came in light of India’s below-par performances in successive T20 World Cups – exiting at the group stage in 2021 and losing in the semi-finals in 2022.
The cricket board, however, did not specify the reason behind the selection committee’s sacking and as per ESPN Cricinfo, four national selectors – Sunil Joshi, Harvinder Singh, Debasis Mohanty and Sharma – had not been contacted by the BCCI in this regard.
Besides Mohanty, the rest of the three selectors had only served half – two years – of their four-year tenures.
