The BCCI sacked the whole senior national selection committee led by Chetan Sharma after Team India lost in the semis of the T20 World Cup, as per PTI.?
BCCI also invited applications for the position of national selectors (Senior Men). The deadline is November 28.
Chetan's pending termination was first reported by PTI on October 18 after the BCCI AGM. But it has come to light that his committee is in the dark.?
The new chairman's job mandate contains a job of "selecting captain in each format" which indicates BCCI may aim for split captaincy soon.?
Chetan (North zone), Harvinder Singh (Centra Zone), Sunil Joshi (South Zone) and Debasish Mohanty (East Zone) have had the shortest stint as senior national selectors recently.?
"For Chetan to save his job, India needed to win the T20 World Cup. Nothing less could have saved him. But once, he was asked to select four squads at one go (New Zealand and Bangladesh away series) which was unprecedented, one could read between the lines," a BCCI insider told PTI but declined to provide a name.?
India topped their group with 4 wins in five games losing just once to South Africa. But in the semis on November 10, they went down vs England by 10 wickets. England would go on to win the title. ???
