Chetan Sharma is currently serving as the chief selector of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He has been in the headlines recently for boldly exposing the hidden truths of Indian cricket during a sting operation conducted by the news agency, Zee News.
Chetan Sharma spoke about a variety of topics but it seems that some members of the BCCI were not pleased with the veteran leaking the confidential information and that too publicly.
Usually, when some activities happen behind the scenes at Indian cricket, it is very much certain that the news won’t come out until or unless it was leaked out by someone.
In contradiction to Chetan Sharma’s remarks, a BCCI source stated that Chetan Sharma speaks too much and added that no top Indian players would talk with Chetan Sharma.
After Chetan Sharma revealed some inside information publicly, it is quite obvious that he would be sacked. In this article, we’ll take a glimpse at the three retired cricketers who could replace Chetan Sharma as chief of the BCCI selection committee.
1. Suresh Raina

2. Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag was one of the pivotal players of the Indian cricket team during the playing days of his cricketing career. So far, he has plied his trade as a cricket commentator and cricket expert. However, when an opportunity knocks on the door, he wouldn’t hesitate to take the role to help Indian cricket.
