New Delhi: The BCCI has decided to give extension to the three-member national selection committee headed by MSK Prasad till the next Annual General Meeting (AGM). It has been learnt that Prasad and Co were given temporary extension as the date of the AGM is yet to be finalised.
"Yes, senior national selection committee has been handed over a temporary extension. Now the tenure of that cannot be ascertained as no one knows when the AGM will be held," a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Normally, selectors' contract is renewed every year. It starts from September 1 of particular year and ends on August 31. However, in the current scenario where Committee of Administrators (COA) is in charge, the AGM is yet to be held as hearing is still on in Supreme Court.
“As per norms, selection committee can only be changed at the AGM. So we have to continue with this current lot as of now even if it means the extension is for a few months," the official further added.
The three-member selection committee headed by former stumper Prasad also comprise Sarandeep Singh and Devang Gandhi. The committee has of late drawn flak when they announced that R Ashwin and R Jadeja were rested from ODIs.
