The selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is about to undergo reform, which is a noteworthy step in Indian cricket. Salil Ankola, a former fast-bowling master and the head of selectors for the western area, is rumoured to be planning to step down from his current position, according to the buzz in Indian cricket circles.
As we explore the complexities of the situation, the plot becomes more complex. Salil Ankola may be affected by the BCCI’s decision to forbid the appearance of two selectors from the same geographic region, according to reports in Indian Express. This zoning scheme puts the tenure of the attentive senior selector who served as the captain of Mumbai and India in peril.
The selection committee’s newly appointed head, Ajit Agarkar, is likewise a native of the West Zone. As a result, it appears that the BCCI has made it apparent that it is inclined to decide against extending Salil Ankola’s contract after it expires.
The present selection committee members initially started serving under the BCCI’s auspices of one-year contracts. They will need to reapply for their jobs in December of this year.
Famous people like Ajit Agarkar, SS Das, Subroto Banerjee, S Sharath, and Salil Ankola are members of the current committee.
The BCCI is prepared to ask the board for approval during the annual general body meeting in Goa to advance this procedure. Additionally, as part of the process, the board wants to give the selection committee a revised remuneration package.
Salil Ankola, who played first-class cricket for Mumbai and was born on 1 March 1968 in Solapur, Maharashtra, represented India internationally from 1989 to 1997. In November 1989, Ankola faced Pakistan in his lone Test game. In this game, he had two wickets and six runs. Ankola has scored 34 runs and claimed 13 wickets in 20 one-day internationals for India. In his 75 List-A games, Ankola has 325 runs and 70 wickets to his name.
