Bengaluru, March 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Wednesday lauded home boy Sunil Joshi after the former India left-arm spinner was named chairman of the national selection panel by the BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).
"We the office bearers and the managing committee members of the KSCA congratulate Sunil Joshi on being selected as chairman of the BCCI senior selections Panel. We are extremely happy and proud of his nomination. We wish him all the very best in his tenure as chairman of the Indian national selection Panel," Vinay Mruthyunjaya, Treasurer & Spokesperson of KSCA, said in a statement.
The CAC comprising of Madan Lal, R.P. Singh and Sulakshana Naik suggested the names of Joshi and Harvinder Singh for the position of the two India selectors that were left vacant after the tenures of M.S.K. Prasad and Gagan Khoda got over.
The trio met at the BCCI HQ in Mumbai on Wednesday and while they recommended the name of Joshi for the chief selector's post, Harvinder is the other name they have picked out of the list which also included Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, Venkatesh Prasad and Rajesh Chauhan.
Joshi, 49, has played 69 ODIs and 15 Tests for India between 1996 and 2001, picking up 69 and 41 wickets respectively.
