BCCI working committee to meet on June 12

The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Working Committee is to meet on June 12 to discuss various issues. The meeting is expected to discuss and rafity the decisions taken at the Technical Committee meeting of the board, scheduled for June 4 in Bangalore.

"The Working Committee will meet on June 12 in Delhi," said Niranjan Shah, the BCCI secretary, from Rajkot. The meeting of the national selection committee, fixed for the same day at Bangalore, is likely to be put off by a day. The selection committee will pick the team for the forthcoming tours of Ireland, Scotland and England.

Importantly, the Working Committee is expected to ratify the decision taken by the Coach Selection Committee, who are also due to meet on June 4 in Bangalore. However, Prof. Ratnakar Shetty, the BCCI's chief administrative officer, said the agenda for the meeting had not yet been fixed.

The seven-member committee to appoint a new coach, is headed by Sharad Pawar, the BCCI president, and includes three former India captains - S Venkataraghavan, Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri.

This would be the first meeting of the Working Committee since it last met in Mumbai in April to review India's dismal performance in the World Cup.
