The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet finalized the appointment of a convenor for its zonal selection committee, a senior board official, Devajit Saikia, confirmed in a recent statement.
Saikia made the remark while addressing the board's ongoing deliberations on the appointment of Ray as the convenor for the North East women's cricket zone, a position that oversees talent scouting and team selection in the region.
He indicated that the board is reviewing the selection framework and will announce the zonal convenor once internal consultations are complete, though no specific timeline was provided.
The absence of a designated convenor has drawn queries from regional cricket administrators who seek clarity ahead of upcoming domestic tournaments, emphasizing the importance of a clear selection structure for player development.
The BCCI has not issued further comments, leaving the decision pending.
