Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe, Sulakshana Naik appointed as BCCI's CAC

Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjape and Sulakshana Naik on Thursday have been appointed as members of the BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), an official release confirmed.

Malhotra, who has 9,784 first-class runs to his name from 156 matches, represented India in seven Tests and 20 ODIs in the '80s. The former Haryana batter recently served as the president of the Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA). 

Former Mumbai batter Paranjape had played four ODIs for India in 1998 and was part of the senior men’s selection committee.

Naik, who played two Tests, 46 ODIs and 31 T20Is for India in a career spanning 11 years, will continue to be a part of the three-member CAC.

The CAC's immediate job will be to select BCCI's next selection committee after the previous panel led by Chetan Sharma was sacked last month following the semifinal exit in 2022 T20 World Cup.
