India ODI squad selection on January 20

Mumbai: The Indian squad for the one-day tri-series in Australia commencing on February 3 as well as for the one-off Twenty20 International against the host scheduled on February 1 will be picked in Mumbai on January 20.

“The squad is to be picked on January 20 in Mumbai,” BCCI’s chief Administrative Officer Prof Ratnakar Shetty said.

The date coincides with the last day of the third India-Australia Test at Perth as well as the final day of the Ranji Trophy final at the Wankhede Stadium here between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Only three out of five selectors, including chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar, would be present in Mumbai to pick the squad while two other members — Venkatapathy Raju and Ranjib Biswal — would be in Australia and are expected to interact with their colleagues via a teleconference.

Meanwhile, BCCI’s Joint Secretary Mahendra Pandove is also set to leave for Australia on Monday for a two-week stay. Pandove is going there as a senior office bearer of the BCCI, Shetty said.

Meanwhile, BCCI chief Sharad Pawar is set to attend the ICC Executive Board meeting in Dubai on Monday. — PTI
