On a day when the deadline for submitting applications for the three vacant posts in the national selection committee came to an end, the likes of Ajit Agarkar, Maninder Singh, Chetan Sharma and Shiv Sunder Das have emailed their application as prescribed by the BCCI. Agarkar, Maninder, Chetan and Das confirmed to The Hindu about having applied for the post. If the BCCI decides to stick to adopting the zonal policy, Agarkar and Maninder are set to be front-runners to replace Sunil Joshi as the chairman of the panel. If the zonal policy is adhered to, Agarkar and Kuruvilla will be key contender from west, Das and Bose from east and Chetan and Maninder from north zone. As a result, should either Agarkar (26 Tests), Maninder (35) or Chetan (23) be picked in the panel, Joshi (15) will be replaced as the chief selector.
