New Delhi, Nov 16 (UNI) Ajit Agarkar, Chetan Sharma, Maninder Singh, Shiv Sunder Das and Abey Kuruvilla are among the former India players who have applied for positions in the BCCI's selection committee (senior men).
The BCCI advertised for openings after the terms of Jatin Paranjpe, Devang Gandhi and Sarandeep Singh ended in September. The deadline for applications closed 1800 hrs on Sunday.
Bengal's Ranadeb Bose is also in the mix despite not having any international experience. Bose, who took 317 wickets in 91 first-class matches, was eligible to apply by virtue of having played at least 30 first-class matches. He was most recently Bengal's bowling coach.
Sunil Joshi, the former India spinner, is the current chairman of selectors by virtue of being senior to Paranjpe, Gandhi, Sarandeep and former fast bowler Harvinder Singh, the second member to have been inducted to the selection panel in March this year.
Joshi and Harvinder were appointed after the terms of MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda ended following India's tour of New Zealand in February.
