Virender Sehwag will become the selector of Team India! BCCI can take big decision before Asia Cup

This year is very important for cricket. While the Asai Cup 2023 will be held in September, the ODI World Cup 2023 will be played later this year. India will be eyeing both these tournaments and would like to win the ICC trophy after almost 10 years. Before this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can take a big decision. BCCI may soon hand over a big responsibility to India's former explosive batsman Virender Sehwag.

There is currently a vacancy in the selection committee after Chetan Sharma suddenly resigned from the post of chief selector. At present, Shiv Sunder Das is handling the responsibility of the chief selector of the Indian team. In such a situation, Sehwag's name is repeatedly appearing for this one vacant post. Actually, BCCI is looking for a selector from North Zone. Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, and Harbhajan Singh are the players of North Zone. But this player is not yet eligible for this position. Actually, players can apply for this post only after 5 years of retirement.

Yes, Veeru's childhood friend and former fast bowler Ashish Nehra is eligible for this. But the big players shy away from playing the role of a selector. The reason behind this is the salary given to the selectors. At one time the responsibility of the chief selector of the Indian team was held by Dilip Vengsarkar and K.K. Legendary players like Srikanth were seen playing. But now the big players are clearly seen shying away from fulfilling this responsibility.

At present, if we look at the salary received by the members of the selection committee of the Indian team, then the chief selector gets Rs 1 crore annually. At the same time, all the other members of the selection committee are given Rs 90 lakh as annual salary by the BCCI.
