The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) has a “compromised and conflicted” selection process that bypasses the chief selector and is marked by “rampant interference” of its officials.
This is the key point flagged in a scathing indictment by DDCA’s Technical Expert Group (TEG) in the wake of Delhi’s dismal showing last season. The group, chosen by DDCA, includes two 1983 World Cup winners Madan Lal and Sunil Valson and first-class player Vinay Lamba, was set up before the start of the 2022-23 season.
Delhi had finished sixth in Group B in last season’s Ranji Trophy and failed to qualify for the knockouts this season too.
