"Malhotra has represented India in seven Tests and 20 ODIs and recently served as the President of the Indian Cricketers' Association. Paranjape has played four ODIs for India and was part of the senior men's selection committee," BCCI secretary Jay Shah was quoted as saying in a press release.

In November this year, the BCCI sacked the entire selection panel headed by Chetan Sharma. The other members were Harvinder Singh, Sunil Joshi, and Debasish Mohanty.

It is understood that Chetan, despite his unceremonious dumping and an adverse performance report after India's semi-final debacle at the T20 World Cup, has reapplied for the post alongside Harvinder. However, Joshi and Mohanty (tenure ended) have decided against reapplication.

Some of the prominent names to have applied are Nayan Mongia, Venkatesh Prasad, Maninder Singh, Shiv Sunder Das, Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, Amay Khurasiya, Reetinder Singh Sodhi, Nikhil Chopra, and Atul Wassan to name a few.

COVID-19: India's tour of Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe called off

The treasurer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Arun Dhumal on Monday said that National Cricket Academy and cricket operations team are working on conducting a training camp for elite cricketers but retracted to put any time frame given the prevailing circumstances.

Even though the central government has been taking gradual steps in opening up the economy, COVID-19 cases continue to witness a sharp spike in India while inching towards the 2-lakh mark.&nbsp;

"The (resumption of) national camp is under review with the cricket operations team and NCA staff working out the possibility to have it as soon as possible. Different states are taking different measures (with regards to relaxation on lockdown), so we will take a call accordingly," Dhumal told PTI.

"Everybody (players) comes from one or the other state. They can coordinate with their respective state association and train till the time it is safe for the entire team to get together," the treasurer once again stressed on the point he had stated before the start of the fourth phase of lockdown.

England cricketers have already started training in batches whereas Australian cricketers have also started their practice sessions with David Warner and Steve Smith attending a practice session in New South Wales on Monday.

"They can be moved out to a safe location and from there they can join the camp as and when it happens. As I said, we are looking at all the options," said Dhumal when asked about the two-star players.

Just like other sports federations in the country, the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/search?q=bcci">Board of Control for Cricket in India</a> (BCCI) has also come under the ambit of National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).&nbsp;

India's cricket board&nbsp;had concerns about the standard of NADA dope testing kits and had contracted an independent service provider for sample collection.&nbsp;

"They had two-three concerns," said sports secretary Radhey Shyam Julaniya after his meeting with BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri.&nbsp;

"The first was quality of the dope testing kits. We assured them the kit we're using is an international standard and recognised by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency)."

BCCI&nbsp;also agreed to&nbsp;bear the extra expenses for&nbsp;better kits and superior dope control officers.&nbsp;

Julaniya said that all sports are the same and&nbsp;everyone has to follow the same rules, "BCCI does not have discretion to say no," he added.&nbsp;

"I explained to them that you don't have discretion, you don't decide whether you'd follow the law or not. The law applies to all uniformly," he said. He made it clear that they could not make an exception for cricket.

Earlier, the BCCI had insisted&nbsp;on handling its doping analysis and sanctions in-house, rebuffing pressure from India's government and the World Anti-Doping Agency to come under the ambit of India's WADA-accredited national anti-doping body.&nbsp;

But the request has been turned down.&nbsp;

"NADA, as and when it wants to test, will carry out the tests like it does with all other athletes," Julaniya said.

"The WADA code gives the authority to the national anti-doping agency to carry out all testing in its territory, irrespective of the nationality of the athletes."

On the decision, BCCI's chief Johri, said, "We have to follow the law of the land &amp; BCCI is committed to follow the law that exists."

"We have raised quite a few issues which the sports secretary said will be addressed by them," he told reporters.

"We have agreed to bear the differential cost of high-quality testing," Johri added.&nbsp;

The BCCI is the world's richest cricket body and generates about 70 per cent of the sport's global revenues.

Swashbuckling all-rounder&nbsp;Ravindra Jadeja smashed six sixes in an over in a local cricket match, sending selectors a reminder of his short-form prowess after being omitted from India&#39;s recent Twenty20 squads.

Jadeja scored 154 off just 69 deliveries in his explosive innings during a district-level T20 game on Friday in India&#39;s western Gujarat state, including a total of 10 sixes.

The 29-year-old left-hander has been left out of India&#39;s one-day and T20 squads of late, last playing the shortest version of the game at international level in July against the West Indies.

However, he has been a match winner for India in Tests -- a format in which he is currently ranked second in the world among all-rounders.

Only four batsmen have ever achieved the feat of hitting six sixes in one over in first-class or international matches.

India&#39;s Yuvraj Singh and South Africa&#39;s Herschelle Gibbs recorded the sixes in international cricket, while Gary Sobers and Ravi Shastri did so in first-class games.&nbsp;

However, Jadeja&#39;s innings will not be added to that list as it only came at a local level, between Jamnagar and Amreli districts.

A wily left-arm spinner, Jadeja is expected to play a key role when India tour South Africa in January for a three-Test series.

India will also play six one-day internationals and three T20 matches in the tour, for which squads have yet to be announced.

India is ranked number one in Tests with South Africa just behind on two.&nbsp;
