BCCI names Madan Lal, RP Singh, Sulakshana Naik in CAC
What's the story
Former India cricketers Rudra Pratap Singh, Madan Lal and Sulakshana Naik were on Friday appointed members of the Cricket Advisory Committee by the BCCI.
The CAC's immediate task will be to pick replacements for outgoing selectors MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda.
The three have been given a one-year term by the BCCI.
Here are further details on the same.
Existence
CAC wasn't in existence for a while
The CAC, which is also supposed to pick the head coaches for the national teams, was not in existence ever since the likes of Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy stepped down last year.
That happened after conflict of interest allegations were levelled against them.
The BCCI will hope the present CAC will step up and deliver what's expected out of them.
