According to the Indian Express report, apart from Chetan Sharma, Harvinder Singh has also applied to become a selector again. Harvinder has also been in the previous committee whose tenure was decided not to be extended by the BCCI. It has been said in the report that BCCI has received more than 60 applications including Chetan and Harvinder so far.

Veteran cricketers Ajit Agarkar and Nayan Mongia are also involved in the race to become selectors. Apart from him, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan and Salil Ankola have also applied for this special committee. Sunil Joshi and Debasish Mohanty were also in the previous committee, who did not apply again. Among the five members who will be elected in the committee, whoever is senior in terms of experience will automatically become the chief selector.
