Speaking to ANI, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) chief Madal Lal confirmed the development and stated, "Yes, they have been appointed. Now, the one who has played maximum matches will be the chief," he said.
A three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) headed by Madan Lal, also comprising the likes of former pacer RP Singh and Sulakshana Naik, held the interviews for national selectors earlier in the day. The CAC had earlier also appointed Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh as the national selectors, who filled in the vacant spots left by MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda respectively.

On the contrary, Abbey played a total of 35 games (10 Tests, 25 ODIs) whereas Debasis played 47 matches for Team India (2 Tests, 45 ODIs).
