Deadline for World Cup 2023 Squad Submission
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a deadline of August 29th for the submission of squads for the World Cup 2023. This means that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has only sixty days to appoint a chief selector, or else face the potential repercussions of an unsuccessful 50-over tournament.
Selectors’ Experience
The selection committee currently consists of four members with a combined total of 55 international games played between them. This raises the question of whether or not the committee is adequately experienced enough to provide a championship-winning squad. With the presence of a superstar coach in Rahul Dravid, a superstar captain in Rohit Sharma, and a superstar NCA chief in VVS Laxman, the lack of experience could lead to a lack of voice in the committee.
Advertisement for Selector’s Role
The BCCI has already posted an advertisement for the selector’s role, and with the clock ticking, the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) needs to move quickly. Although there is already a shortlist of players, the selection process must be done in time.
Conclusion
The BCCI and the CAC need to act fast in order to meet the ICC’s August 29th deadline for World Cup 2023 squad submission. The selection committee must be well-equipped to provide a championship-winning squad, and the lack of experience could be an issue. The BCCI has already posted an advertisement for the selector’s role, and the CAC must hurry in order to make the selection in time.
