The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday invited applications for positions on its Senior Men’s, Women’s, and Junior Men’s Selection Committees. According to an Indian Express report, the board is likely to shake up things by bringing in fresh faces. The current selection committee comprises Agarkar, SS Das, Subroto Banerjee, Ajay Ratra and S Sharath.
However, according to the report, Sharath, who completed four years as a selector, is likely to be replaced. While the board has put applications for 2 people, the fate of SS Das, Subroto Banerjee and Ajay Ratra is still unknown.

How much Salary will the new selector receive on appointment?
One of the main reasons why BCCI have been unable to appoint high high-profile name is due to low salary. However, Ajit Agarkar's appointment as chairman of selectors has also witnessed a hike in salary.
According to News 18 report, the 45-year-old Agarkar earns a salary package of ₹3 crore per year compared to ₹1 crore, which was given earlier. While a decision is yet to be made about the salary hike of the other members of the committee who are paid ₹90 lakh each annually.
So the two fresh faces are likely to earn the same amount of salary as the previous selector.
