High Court forms selection committees for Rajasthan cricketers

The Rajasthan High Court today cleared the decks for its state cricketers to participate in all the domestic tournaments by naming selection committees for senior, junior and women's cricket, which both Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and BCCI accepted.
As per the copy of the High Court Order, national selector Roger Binny will be a part of the Ranji Trophy selection panel with assistance of five local selectors namely Vinod Mathur, Sanjay Vyas, Nazmul Hussain, Taposh Chatterjee and Vivekbhan Singh.
Similarly BCCI's junior selection committee chairman and former Baroda opener Connor Williams, will be overseeing the junior selection panel with Kuldeep Mathur, Pramod Yadav and Sukhvinder Singh.

The women's selection committee will be headed by BCCI nominee Rita Dey with Megha Gaur, Shabana Khan and Pratima Bharti.
The BCCI counsel told the HIgh Court that they have no objection to the arrangement.
Later, both the warring parties RCA and BCCI claimed moral victory by sending out separate press releases stating that the Court has accepted their respective pleas.
In a media release issued by BCCI, secretary Sanjay Patel said,"Today, the initiative of the BCCI to normalise the situation in Rajasthan on account of the impasse created by Section 25 of the Rajasthan Sports Act was recognised by the Rajasthan High Court taking control over participation of the players.

"The High Court has appointed the selection committees for the senior men's team, the junior team and the women's team with BCCI national selector Roger Binny selecting the men's team assisted by 5 selectors," Patel was quoted as saying in the press release.
