Former Indian cricketers RP Singh, Madan Lal and Sulakshana Naik were on Friday (January 31) appointed as members of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) by the BCCI.

The CAC's immediate task will be to pick replacements for outgoing selectors MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda.

"The term of appointment will be for one year," BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.

The CAC, which is also supposed to pick the head coaches for the national teams, was not in existence ever since Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy stepped down last year after conflict of interest allegations were levelled against them. Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly were also previously part of the committee.
