The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Madan Lal, Rudra Pratap Singh and Sulakshana Naik met at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Wednesday to name the new members of the All-India Senior Selection Committee (Men). The CAC recommended Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh’s names in the senior selection committee. Sunil Joshi and Harvinder will join Devang Gandhi, Sarandeep Singh and Jatin Paranjape, who will finish their term later this year, in the selection committee.
According to a media release, the CAC will review the candidates after a one-year period and make the recommendations to the BCCI.
