On the other hand, former Indian opener Shiv Sundar Das, who was earlier associated with Indian Women's team and then joined Punjab domestic side as the coach, would have his second foray with the national side after having played his last Test against West Indies in Kingston during India's 2002 tour of West Indies.

Subroto Banerjee, who represented Bihar and Bengal in domestic cricket, and Mumbai's current chairman of selectors Salil Ankola are the other two names on the commitee and will assume operations by announcing the squad for the series against New Zealand series later this month. The selectors will also closely follow the Ranji Trophy matches going on in various parts of the country.
