BCCI: Talking about the recent tour of Team India, this team went on a tour to Sri Lanka in July. A series of three T20 and three ODI matches were played between the two teams. In the T20 series, India won the series 3-0 with complete dominance. On the other hand, the performance of this team in the ODI series was quite shameful.

The result was that the Indian team had to face defeat at the hands of the Sri Lankan team by 2-0. Now this team will face Bangladesh. In this home series, it will play two Tests and three T20 matches.

However, before this, a big change has been made in the selection committee by the BCCI. Under this, a former veteran cricketer has been included in the selection committee. Let us know in detail.

BCCI made this veteran a part of the selection committee

For some time now, there have been discussions that BCCI is going to make a big change in the selection committee. Under this, former Indian cricketer and coach Ajay Ratra has been included in the five-member men's selection committee. He is going to replace Salil Ankola. Actually, the board has done this to maintain regional balance.

Ajit Agarkar was appointed in the committee last year. Apart from him, Ankola also represented the West Zone. Ratra will represent the North Zone in the committee. Let us tell you that this former Indian cricketer has also served as a coach in Team India.

When the Indian team went on a tour to South Africa at the end of last year, Ajay Ratra was part of the coaching team.
