Ahmedabad: Former India pacer Chetan Sharma was on Thursday appointed chairman of the senior national selection panel by the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), which also picked Mumbai’s Abey Kuruvilla and Odisha’s Debasis Mohanty in the five-member team.
The new panel was formed on the sidelines of the Board’s 89th Annual General Meeting (AGM), with Sharma pipping Maninder Singh and Vijay Dahiya from the north zone.
‘It’s indeed a privilege for me to get an opportunity to serve Indian cricket once again. I am a man of few words and my action will speak louder than words,’ Sharma, who has a five-wicket haul at Lord’s in a Test match, said.
