Lodha Panel vs BCCI: A Rejig In National Selection Panel On The Cards

As per recommendations of Lodha Panel, two of the five-member selection committee are ineligible to continue on their post. According to Lodha recommendations, the selection committee should comprise of three members only and not five.

Along with that, there is an additional condition attached to it, according to which a selector should have played at least a Test match in order to be eligible for the post.

Two of the selectors – Gagan Khoda and Jatin Paranjpe – do not fulfil the second condition of being a Test cricketer. as they have not played a single Test match during their career.

Khoda played 2 ODIs for India whereas Jatin Paranjpe made four appearances in One day cricket. We might see both of them being axed from the selection committee which will automatically cut down the selection panel to three.

MSK Prasad, Sarandeep Singh and Devang Gandhi will be the remaining men in the selection panel if BCCI follows the Lodha recommendations to a T.

Prasad played a total of six Test matches for India whereas Sarandeep Singh and Devang Gandhi played three and four Test matches respectively.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of India took a bold decision by sacking BCCI’s President Anurag Thakur and Secretary Ajay Shrike. We might see the court forcing the board to fall in line and if that happens, then the two mentioned selectors might be left out of the selection committee.
