New Delhi, Jan 15: The BCCI on Monday invited applications to replace one among the five senior national selectors and in all likelihood, former pacer Salil Ankola would be the one on his way out as West Zone is already represented by chairman Ajit Agarkar.
The BCCI posted an advertisement on its website listing the same requirements that have been in place for the past couple of years – the incumbent should have played either 7 Tests or 30 first-class matches. Applications will also be considered if the candidate has an experience of 10 ODIs or 20 first-class matches.
The last date of submitting applications is January 25.
The five-man selection committee comprises Agarkar (chairman, Mumbai, West Zone), S Sharath (Tamil Nadu, South Zone), SS Das (Vidarbha, Central Zone), Subroto Banerjee (Bengal, Bihar, East Zone) and Ankola (Mumbai, Maharashtra, West Zone).
“Save Ajit Agarkar, all the four others completed their one-year term on December 31, 2023. They were given one-year contract,” a senior BCCI official said on conditions of anonymity. (PTI)
