The CAC has the mandate to pick a selector who can stand up to the high profile team management in case there are differences," the BCCI official further told the news agency.

I like it.hopefully he can pick the correct WC squad which includes Jaiswal.

[Suhaan]

Lets see how he unfolds

[vvvslaxman]

When he is in the commentary box he mostly says the right thing. Let us see how he reacts to external pressure

Exactly. Jasiwal should have got the nod ahead of Ruturaj in the ODI squad for WI as well.

Start with sitting the legunds out. Usher in new talent even if it means we lose a bit. Start fresh because this lot isn't winning anything meaningful.

The link says “front runner” so the selection is not confirmed yet. 
 

I am not sure what kind of impact Agarkar can make. Fans, who lack any accountability and act on the whim would have a different criteria for team selections, while the selectors would be relatively more long term focused and look at the big picture.

Agarkar has a short but promising track record with his involvement with Mumbai Cricket.  I'm going to be cautiously optimistic about this.

Are you stupid? A dum dum?

 

Why on earth would fans have any accountability? Do they have a responsibility in your low IQ midwit mind?

 

Please, stick to count and don nonsense threads. Thanks.

Lets see if he can difference for WC squad. Otherwise After WC loss at home, it would be clean up job anyways, the public anger might become too much for oldies after all. There would be no resistance to clean up job.

BCCI could have selected the new selection committe earlier and the Duleep Trophy squad, Emerging nation squad, Squad to windies   would have selected by this new committe

Wow! This Jaiswal certainly looks popular. I get the vibe that Jaiswal is "the" missing piece and if Jaiswal is in the team, anything is possible........ anything. Looking forward to seeing how this megastar in the making does. For now Jaiswal here, Jaiswal there, Jaiswal everywhere!!!!

Left handers in the top -6 are worth their weight in gold.. Unfortunately for India, we dont have any in the current squad

Remember when Agarkar would be the laughing stock even cricinfo used to shred him in his playing days then he became a pundit for them

Agarkar was a very successful cricketer.

Still remember his heroics in u-19 days and was hailed as the next Kapil Dev... His batting in Australia was a big letdown and toned down my expectations of him. Nevertheless,  he comes across as someone with good sense & maturity during his commentary stint and hope he brings that to the table during his tenure as a selector

[Lord]

Time for redemption for Agarkar

 

Usually a sound head but also doesnt look assertive enough

[tapandrun]

Looks like DC think tank is highly regarded in BCCI. Gangully, Dravid and now Agarkar.
