Jay Shah: Indian cricket is currently going through a phase of change. In fact, many important changes have taken place from the team to the team management and are yet to happen. Recently, a new head coach was appointed. Gautam Gambhir was given this big responsibility. The name of his assistant coach has not been announced yet.

Apart from this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is also going to appoint a veteran in the selection committee under the leadership of Jay Shah. As soon as he arrives, a veteran selector already present in the panel will be relieved. Let us know the whole thing in detail.

Jay Shah will make this veteran the new selector

At present, one selector's post is vacant in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Actually, in the 5-member panel, two members are from the West Zone. In this, Ajit Agarkar is the first member who is from Mumbai. The second member is Salil Ankola who also belongs to Mumbai.

In such a situation, to maintain the zonal balance, BCCI has decided to remove Ankola from this post. At present, Mithun Manhas's name is at the forefront for this post. He is from the North Zone. Apart from this, this cricketer from Delhi has also played a lot of cricket with head coach Gautam Gambhir. In such a situation, his appointment is confirmed. Now just waiting for the official announcement by Jay Shah.

He has scored 32 centuries in domestic cricket

Mithun Manhas is a famous name in Indian domestic cricket. He has been one of the important players of the Delhi team in his time. Apart from this, the 44-year-old veteran has also captained this team. He has scored a lot of runs in First Class and List-A.

In 157 first class matches, Manhas scored 9714 runs at an average of 45.82. During this, he scored 27 centuries and 49 half-centuries. If we talk about List-A, he scored 4126 runs in 130 matches with the help of 5 centuries and 26 half-centuries. However, he was one of those unfortunate players who could not get a chance to play for Team India.
