New Delhi. The BCCI top brass will review India’s dismal performance in the 2022 T20 World Cup with captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid on January 1. NCA chief VVS Laxman, who was with the Indian team in Dravid’s absence, is also expected to attend the meeting.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the meeting is scheduled in Mumbai ahead of the limited overs series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that England defeated India by 10 wickets in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. India last won the ICC Event Champions Trophy in 2013 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Whereas, India’s last World Cup title came in 2011.
The selection committee was disbanded after losing the World Cup.
It may be noted that the Chetan Sharma-led selection committee was disbanded after the debacle in the T20 World Cup. BCCI had sought applications for the selection committee. The selection committee was dismissed in November, but orders were issued to the committee to keep an eye on the players when the Ranji Trophy was held. Along with this, permission was also given to select the team for three T20s and ODIs against Sri Lanka.
Cricket Advisory Committee has been constituted
At the same time, the Cricket Advisory Committee, formed in the beginning of December, met in Mumbai on Friday to shortlist the list of candidates for the posts of selectors. The panel includes Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe and Sulakshana Naik. Chetan Sharma and Harvinder Singh have reapplied for the selector’s post, while others who have applied include former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad and former India wicket-keeper Nayan Mongia.
