MS Dhoni debate and weight of expectations headline challenges in front of chairman of selectors Sunil Joshi

Firstpost  

Sunil Joshi’s first meeting as the new chairman of the BCCI’s senior national selection panel was somewhat of a breeze. Should that be enough to bring someone who has been picky and choosy – the semifinal exit against New Zealand in Manchester in July remains Dhoni’s last game of cricket – straight back into contention? Already, Joshi’s team has made a significant break from the past by putting Kedar Jadhav out to pasture in 50-over cricket, merely a financial attraction in a year where otherwise it has little context. Page 64 of the BCCI constitution unambiguously states, among other things, “The senior most Test cap among the members of the Committee shall be appointed as the Chairperson.” Hyper-active president Sourav Ganguly’s assertion last month, therefore, that ‘it will be the one with the most Test caps’ is contrary to the constitution, though it is worth remembering that the BCCI has approached the supreme court contesting several clauses in the constitution adopted in August 2018.
