MSK Prasad is new chief selector of Indian cricket team

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India wicketkeeper M S K Prasad has been appointed chief selector of the Indian cricket team. He was retained in the senior selection panel, a decision made at the BCCI’s 87th Annual General Meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The Indian cricket board also named a five-man selection panel as opposed to the Lodha panel’s order to appoint three selectors. Last year, Prasad was appointed as selector in place of Roger Binny from South Zone.

Other four selectors are set to be Devang Gandhi (East Zone), Gagan Khoda (Central), Sarandeep Singh (North) and Jatin Paranjape (West). BCCI sources confirmed that they don’t need any approval from the Lodha Committee for the decisions taken at the AGM.
