BCCI postpones selection meet as confusion reigns supreme

In a mysterious turn of events, the BCCI selection committee on Mumbai met here but did not select the team for the final two ODIs against Sri Lanka and the upcoming Australia tour without specifying the reasons for the no show.

Later a BCCI release only stated the postponement of the meet whithout giving a definite reason for not picking the squads. The events leading to the all-important meet were also confusing after two selectors gave contrasting information regarding the meeting agenda after TV reporters asked them questions.

While one selector stated that the meeting was regarding the selection of the squad for the final two ODIs against Sri Lanka, the other said that the team for the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia will be picked. Even chief selector Sandip Patil left the the meeting half-an-hour early and chose not to speak to the waiting media, who were left guessing about the outcome till the BCCI statement arrived.
