Scrap CAC, Apex Council Should Appoint Selectors: Dilip Vengsarkar
The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) should be scrapped, and selectors should be appointed by the apex councils - both of the Indian cricket board and of its affiliates - to bring transparency to the selection of selectors while the 60-year cap for selectors is unconstitutional and it is used by administrators "to push their own people" in the selection committee, says former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar.
Vengsarkar, 64, said the new Supreme Court-approved constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) mentions upper age limit as 70 years for office-bearers, and which should be applied to the selector, too, and not the 60-year bar, which is an "absurd rule" and "detrimental to Indian cricket".
