As reported by PTI on January 1, Chetan Sharma is the favourite to retain his chairmanship after being dumped along with his colleagues post the T20 World Cup semi-final exit.
“Chetan is favourite and Harvinder (Singh) also appeared for the interview. So the North and Central Zone may be taken care of. Junior chairman of selectors S Sharath was also asked by BCCI brass to apply. He is best equipped with a supply chain of talent from pathway cricket,” a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
SS Das, the former opener from East looks a runaway favourite at the moment while Mukund Parmar of Gujarat is also a strong candidate from the West. It has been learnt that this time, the BCCI will give a contract for only one year to avoid any confusion.

“This time, it will be a one-year contract with focus on the World Cup,” the source said. It is understood that a lot of focus was on how to build combinations for the World Cup.
“There were questions asked about what kind of a combination could be termed proper with regards to the blend of juniors and seniors going into the World Cup?,” one person in the know of things said.
It was learnt that some of the candidates were given names of Gen-Next spinners and asked how they felt they would shape up in Test cricket in future?
“A few candidates were given names of specific batters and asked what is the ideal batting position that they think will work for them,” the source informed.
