My actions will speak louder than words: Chetan Sharma PTI
Ahmedabad: Former India pacer Chetan Sharma was Thursday appointed chairman of the senior national selection panel by the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC). The committee also picked Mumbai’s Abey Kuruvilla and Odisha’s Debasis Mohanty in the five-member team.
The new panel was formed on the sidelines of BCCI’s 89th Annual General Meeting (AGM) here, with Sharma pipping Maninder Singh and Vijay Dahiya from the North Zone.
“It’s indeed a privilege for me to get an opportunity to serve Indian cricket once again. I am a man of few words and my action will speak louder than words,” Sharma, who has a five-wicket haul at Lord’s in a Test match said Thursday. “I can only thank BCCI for this opportunity,” the 54-year-old added.
