Former India batsman Kris Srikkanth, who was dropped as captain after seeking better payments for his peers in his playing days, was named chief selector by the Indian cricket board on Saturday.
Srikkanth, who replaces Dilip Vengsarkar, annoyed board officials when he stood up for his team before the 1989 test tour of Pakistan and was removed as captain on his return despite having led the team to a creditable draw.
Former batsman Yashpal Sharma, leg-spinner Narendra Hirwani, Surendra Bhave and Raja Venkat were also named to India's first paid selection committee on one-year appointments.
Shashank Manohar replaced Sharad Pawar as president at the annual general meeting of the board. Pawar will succeed England's David Morgan as president of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2010.

WHY MOHAMMAD KAIF IS NOT PICKED,BECAUSE HE DON'T HAVE APPROACH OR BECAUSE HE IS MUSLIM ,HOW CAN YOU ALL SAY RAINA AND YOUR SOUTH'S KARTICK IS BETTER THAN HIM,SHAME TO YOU ALL RACIST SELECTORS,WHY IRFAN AND YUSUF IS NOT IN THE TEST SQUAD ,IS BALAJI,KULKARNI ARE BETER THAN THEM,I THINK THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIM,HOW LONG THIS WILL GO IN INDIAN HISTORY,I THINK AS LONG AS DHONI'S CASTISM AND RACISM WILL PREVAIL,I THINK THE MUSLIM PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO JOIN B.J.P. OR RAJ THACREY TO GET CHANCE EVEN AFTER HAVING ENOUGH TALENT,''THIS IS INDIA'',''MERA BHARAT MAHAN''WHERE KAPIL AND AJAY JADEJA GOT PARDON FOR MATCH FIXING BUT AZHAR STILL SUFFERING AFTER BRINGING SO MUCH NAME AND FAME TO INDIAN CRICKET,BECAUSE HE IS MUSLIM,THANKS PLEASE SEND THIS WRITING TO ALL PRESS.THANKS AGAIN.

why old and fitless 'WS LAXMAN' is always taken in the squad when there is good option like wasim jafer and m. kaif who are performing well in domestic cricket,is because laxman is from south india or because he is favoured by politician dhoni who don't want to give chance to the players who are more talented than him like 'IK PATHAN and YK PATHAN.

why irfan ism not taken in champions trophy,i request all the muslims of india to boycot viewing cricket, and to take out procession against racist and castist indian selectors,what more irfan will do to prove himself,i think he will have to take false birth certificate from south india,because old good for nothing fellow'mr dravid is in,but young and talented irfan is out due to bad politics of dhoni and srikanth.shame to the indian selectors
