BCCI receives fake CVs of

The BCCI staff were shocked to see applications from Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Virender Sehwag when they opened the mailbox to check the CVs of potential national selection committee candidates. Let us look at details on BCCI receives fake CVs of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Sehwag from spam emails.

Not only that, the former captain of Pakistan, Inzamam ul Haq, also offered his candidature for the position, as if that weren’t enough. All of these CVs were only posted using spam email addresses by phonies looking to have some fun at BCCI’s expense. For the five-member selection panel, the BCCI has received over 600 email applications, some of which came from fictitious Tendulkar, Dhoni, Sehwag, and Inzamam ids.

For the high-profile positions, the Cricket Advisory Committee is anticipated to shortlist 10.

“Around 600 applications have been received and some of them have come from fake ids claiming to be Dhoni, Sehwag, and Tendulkar. They are simply wasting BCCI’s time by doing that.

“The CAC will shortlist 10 candidates and then choose the final five. The process will be completed soon,” a BCCI source told PTI The BCCI had sacked the Chetan-Sharma led selection panel following the team’s semifinal exit from the T20 World Cup last month. However, that panel continues to remain in operation with their successors not finalised. The committee had also followed the first round of Ranji Trophy and are watching the second round. Debasish Mohanty is in Kolkata watching the Bengal vs Himachal Pradesh match.

The BCCI Apex Council was unable to approve the players’ central contracts on Wednesday because the selection committee has not yet been established and its input is required before the list is finalised.

To finish the job, the CAC, which consists of Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe, and Sulakshna Naik, was appointed earlier this month.

The selection panel’s first task will be to choose teams for the home series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, which begins January 3, in addition to choosing the central contracts.
