Former India opener Shiv Sunder Das could be appointed interim chairman of the national selection committee after Chetan Sharma resigned from the post following a sting operation by a news channel, where he allegedly revealed confidential information. Das played 23 Tests, the most number among the current lot in the selection panel. Chetan and the entire selection committee had earlier been sacked following India’s semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup in Australia. He re-applied for the post and was re-appointed as chairman.Chetan, a handy pace bowler, who played when Kapil Dev was at the helm of Indian cricket, is the country’s first hat-trick man in ODI World Cup. But Chetan is best remembered for being hit for a last-ball six by Pakistan’s Javed Miandad during the 1986 Asia Cup final in Sharjah.
