Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will complete the process of appointing a new selection committee for men's senior team by the end of this month.
The Board president, Sourav Ganguly, said that the newly formed three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Madan Lal, RP Singh and Sulakshana Naik will begin taking interviews soon. "It should be done by this month," Ganguly said.
However, it is understood that the process will only be completed after the Apex council meets in Ahmedabad on February 13.
"BCCI secretary (Jay Shah) and treasurer (Arun Singh Dhumal) are also in New Zealand currently and the appointment process is expected to be completed once they return," one of the officials in the know of things said.
With MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda's tenures as selectors coming to end, BCCI has to select two candidates to fill the vacant positions.
However, it is still unclear when the interview process for women's national selection committee will begin. A total of 38 candidates have applied for the five vacant positions.
BCCI had invited applications for the five vacant positions after Hemlata Kala led panel's regime came to end.
