Ramesh Powar Tipped to Chair New BCCI Junior National Selection Committee
The BCCI is forming a new junior national selection committee, with former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar likely to be appointed chairman. Powar, who has coached the Indian women's team and Gujarat's senior men's team, has applied along with Uttar Pradesh pacer Ashish Zaidi. The committee will select age-group teams up to Under-22, oversee junior tournaments, and promote ethical values among young cricketers. It will replace the current panel led by S Sharath and focus on talent development across formats domestically and internationally.
