The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday appointed a three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising former cricketers Madan Lal, RP Singh and Sulakshana Naik. The CAC will conduct interviews to fill the two vacancies in the national selection committee.Current chief selector MSK Prasad’s term expired last September but has been asked to continue till the process of finding his replacement is complete. Gagan Khoda is the other outgoing selector.

In a significant clarification with regards to next chairman of selectors, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly told Hindustan Times that in a committee of five, the most capped Test cricketer, and not the earliest to have played for India, would be the chairman. “It will be the one with the most Tests,” he said.
