BCCI appoints ex-national selectors to pick Bihar's teams

BCCI has appointed a three-person selection committee to choose Bihar's cricket teams for the upcoming Ranji Trophy. The committee is led by former seamer Harvinder Singh and includes ex-first-class players Sharath from Tamil Nadu and Vijayvargiya from Madhya Pradesh. These senior national selectors have a history of serving in similar roles.

The BCCI has formed this committee to select Bihar's junior teams for various age-group tournaments, such as Under-16, Under-19, and Under-23. The committee members arrived in Patna and began their work at the Moin-Ul-Haq Stadium. Justice Ashwani Kumar Singh was appointed as the administrator of the Bihar Cricket Association by the Supreme Court on September 16.

In the past, the BCCI had also formed a four-member selection committee to choose teams for different age-group tournaments. Bihar will face Uttar Pradesh in their Ranji Trophy opener at Rajgir, with other opponents in Elite Group A being Baroda, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Vidarbha, and Puducherry.
