BCCI fires all selectors
The Board of Cricket of India (BCCI) on Friday evening decided to sack all four senior men’s national players after another disappointing T20 World Cup campaign. In a press release, BCCI secretary Jay Shah invited applications for five positions with November 28 as the deadline. The council is headed by Chetan Sharma, consisting of Debasis Mohanty, Harvinder Singh and Sunil Joshi, is one month away from completing two years as a selector. Under the new BCCI constitution, a person can serve on the cricket committee for up to 5 years. BCCI did not appoint anyone when Abey Kuruvilla’s term ended earlier this year.
The move is the first step towards an impending overhaul in Indian cricket. The job description for the upcoming recruits states: “Appointing team captains according to each format.” TOI reported on November 12 that Rohit Sharma has spoken to the board about his captaincy in all formats. Sources say that the board is keen to have a separate captain in the T20 format as it aims to build a new team for the T20 2024 World Cup.
While it is very likely that Rohit Sharma will continue to captain ODI until the ODI World Cup at home next year, it will be interesting to see who leads the new selection pool in the other two formats. Chetan and his team were closely monitored during their tenure. When this committee was in charge, India lost the World Test Championship final, was eliminated from the 2021 T20 World Championship in the group stage, comfortably lost the Test series and the ODI series in South Africa and did not could reach the final of the Asian Cup before being overtaken by England in the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The way the selection committee changed the captaincy after Virat Kohli was also criticized in addition to not choosing a stable team for a year.
Team leader and picker don’t match
According to sources, the team management is not satisfied with the way the selector operates. TOI learned that head coach Rahul Dravid had a big conflict with Chetan after IPL. Sources also said that the team was uncomfortable with a select few getting too close to the team’s training sessions. It is known that Chetan has limited participation in practice sessions while on tour during the recent T20 World Cup campaign. The selected people have decided that they will not interact with the group unless they are asked to. The selectors were effectively informed following India’s disastrous Asian Cup campaign in September.
