NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket board (BCCI) asked the Chetan Sharma-led selection committee to work for an extra day to pick the Indian team for the upcoming limited-overs home series against Sri Lanka. TOI has learnt that the BCCI’s cricket advisory committee, comprising Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe and Sulakshna Naik, is likely to meet on December 29 to work on the shortlist of the candidates for the new selection committee.
"The incumbent selectors were asked to work till Christmas. But since the new selectors were finalised and the team for the Sri Lanka series had to be picked, Chetan Sharma’s team was asked to watch this round of Ranji Trophy team. The present selectors were asked to discuss the team for the Sri Lanka series on Tuesday," a BCCI source told TOI.
