Former BCCI chief of selectors Chetan Sharma resign from the post four months ago but the board is yet to finalise a name for the role. Chetan Sharma left before his contract was to expire after a sting operation reveal him leaking team information.
Chetan Sharma made controversial remarks on players like Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya in that sting operation video.
Shiv Sunder Das, who is one of the members of the selection panel, has been the acting chief of selectors since then.
As per reports, BCCI are on a look for the right person but are not too trying to rush things.
The BCCI officials have reach out to couple of big names after Indian Premier League 2023 came to an end.
These former players belong to North Zone.
As per report, these players have play more than 100 matches for India.
The same report also said that board members have reach out to a player from 2011 World Cup winning squad too and are waiting for a response from him.
Some players have refuse to take up the role because of low package offer by BCCI, as per report.
There were fifteen players in the World Cup squad.

The ones from North Zone are Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag.
It is likely that one of these players were reach out to.
Also Piyush Chawla and Suresh Raina could also be the ones BCCI have reach out to for the role of chief selector.
The report also said that BCCI are not overreacting to performance of the team in the World Test Championship 2023 final.
The reason is that India do not play many Tests this year.
After the two Tests vs West Indies in July, India play next Test series in December.
BCCI are not looking in hurry to make any big decision.
Rohit Sharma may have had poor outings with the bat but he is set to keep his place in the side and also lead.
The place of Cheteshwar Pujara is in danger.
Yashasvi Jaiswal will get a Test call-up but it is likely that Cheteshwar Pujara plays both the Tests in West Indies.
If Cheteshwar fails to perform, he might be ask to go again.
