Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for the role of Chief Selector. The chief selector’s chair has been vacant for four months after Chetan Sharma resigned in February. On Thursday, BCCI finally posted the application on its official website as well as social media accounts.
In the application, BCCI has mentioned the job description. The board has clearly mentioned that only one member is required in the selection committee, who will be responsible for selecting the national team for Tests, ODIs and T20Is.

Sehwag leading the race for this post
A PTI said that Virender Sehwag is the prime candidate to get the post. An earlier report in Indian Express had stated that the BCCI had approached a member of the ICC ODI World Cup 2011 winners. It seems that member is Sehwag. However, remuneration could be a big issue due to which Sehwag’s announcement could be delayed. Chetan had lost his job in February after a sting operation exposed him discussing confidential information related to Indian players and team selection. SS Das, one of the members of the selection panel, has been acting as the chief selector since then.
BCCI seeks experience, qualification in new selector?
BCCI has also listed out the qualification, experience and skills required in the candidate. To apply, a candidate must have played at least 7 Test matches or 30 First Class matches or 10 ODIs and 20 T20Is. He too should have retired from the game at least five years ago.
