BCCI NEW Selection Committee: The deadline to submit applications for the post of selectors has ended on Monday at 6 PM. Among nig names. Former cricketers Nayan Mongia, Maninder Singh, Shivsundar Das, and Ajay Ratra submitted their applications. BCCI has received close to 100 applications for the vacancy of five selectors. The board will scrutinise the applications and will make an announcement of the new selection committee in December. However, favourites Laxman Sivaramakrishnan and Ajit Agarkar haven’t applied. Follow Indian Cricket Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.

The former India cricketer was the favourite but BCCI is unlikely to appoint two selectors from the same zone in senior and junior selection committees. Another former Tamil Nadu cricketer Sharath Sridharan is currently the chairman of the junior selection committee. Instead, Hemnag Badani, who is with Sunrisers Hyderabad, has applied for the role from South Zone.

Other prominent names includes the likes of Rajesh Chauhan and Sameer Dighe.

November 28, 6PM was the deadline for eligible former players to apply for the positions.

The new committee should be in place by mid-December.

For now, Chetan Sharma, Sunil Joshi, Debashish Mohanty and Harvinder Singh are in place until new committee comes in.

The new selection committee’s first important job will be to pick the team for the Australia series.

So far, BCCI has received nearly 100 applications.

South Zone: However, despite being a strong candidate from south zone, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan may not be on the panel. The reason could be BCCI’s unwillingness to allow two selectors in junior and senior selection committees from the same state unit.

Sivaramakrishnan was the frontrunner last time. He had backing from Tamil Nadu Cricket Association bigwig N Srinivasan. But it was Chetan Sharma who got the job with support from former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. With Ganguly out, the ball is now in Roger Binny’s court. He enjoys a great rapport with Srinivasan and could be willing to bend the rules for Sivaramakrishnan.

Instead, former India batter Hemnag Badani has emerged as a surprising candidate. But considering he has played a key role in both Sunrisisers Hyderabad and Chepauk Super Gillies in TNPL, he could get a boost.

Prominent Candidates:

Hemnag Badani

Kanwaljit Singh

West Zone: However, Ajit Agarkar who was one of the favourites, hasn’t applied this time. Instead, Salil Ankola and Sameer Dighe are the two candidates from West Zone. If the former India pacer gets BCCI treasurer and Mumbai Cricket strongman Ashish Shelar’s backing, he is set to get the spot.

Prominent Candidates:

Maninder Singh

Nayan Mongia

Salil Ankola

Sameer Dighe

Central & North Zone: From Central Zone and North Zones, there are a lot of eligible candidates. As BCCI has set a minimum of 30 First Class-match criteria, it opens up a lot of options.

S Lahiri BCCI Special Meeting: But all things said and done, choosing the selection committee will be the responsibility of Cricket Advisory Committee. BCCI honchos will meet in Mumbai before Rohit Sharma & Co leave for Dhaka on December 1. But the date has not been finalised yet. Head coach Rahul Dravid besides the support staff and the outgoing selectors will also be in Mumbai. While it is a designated review meeting, a lot of clarity will come from it.
