The DDCA executive committee claimed it appointed former Test spinner Sarandeep Singh, a member of senior national selection committee, as chairman while Robin Singh junior and Rakesh Shukla as the other members. And Chetanya Nanda (chairman), Ashu Dani and Varun Kumar were named in the junior selection committee.
Sarandep’s case is most curious. He appeared for an interview for a DDCA senior selector's post but a committee constituted by Mudgal rejected his candidature.
Now, it remains to be seen which selection committees – the ones appointed by Mudgal or those named on Saturday – select the teams for the rest of the matches of the domestic season.
An observer summed up the shenanigans of some of the people in the DDCA aptly. “The basic reason is that the shops of some of them that they were running from the Kotla had been forced shut by the arrival of Mudgal. That has made them extremely frustrated. Now, they are trying to regain foothold again in the DDCA. Saturday’s absurd move is part of their planning,” he said.
