BCCI is operating with an interim chief selector after Chetan Sharma's resignation earlier this year.
In February this year, Chetan Sharma stepped down from his position as BCCI chief selector amid row over alleged comments in a sting operation.
Since then, the BCCI is operating with an interim chief selector in place, with Shiv Sunder Das being assisted by S Sharath, Subroto Banerjee and Salil Ankola.
