Guess the current set of selectors will stay in their current posts till the upcoming BCCI AGM (Annual General Meeting) on October 22. That's when the BCCI elections will also be held. Once that's done, a new set of selectors should take over.
Let's hope and pray that the incoming group is not as silly as the current lot. I hope the CoA adds more pedigree to the selectors role and makes it a priority that the selectors have played for India for a good chunk of matches and have done decently well in their roles as players. It becomes a laughing stock when guys like MSK Prasad are picked as selectors and that too as the chief selector.
On the MS Dhoni topic - (purely based on the reports that have been circulating in the media) I guess he will drag it on, similar to the likes of Harbhajan/Yuvraj/Gambhir/Sehwag and then when he is also ready to stop playing the IPL, he will probably announce official retirement at that time. But for all practical purposes, his India career is over. I don't buy this "Dhoni will be backup in case Pant gets injured for the T20 WC". If that happens, Karthik should step in as he has enough experience to replace Pant in case of injury. And we better groom a backup for Pant instead of hoping that Dhoni will fill that. Going back to Dhoni in case of injury, is such a backward step and one that will be ridiculous.
