A media release confirms that the CAC will review the performance of the candidates after a one-year period and make recommendations to the Board accordingly.
The new selection panel’s first assignment would be to pick the Indian squad for the upcoming three-match One-Day International series against South Africa starting on 12 March at Dharamsala.
