Representing haryana

National Selection Committee: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday named former cricketer Ajay Ratra as the new member of the Senior Men's National Selection Committee. Ratra, who is associated with the Haryana Cricket Association, comes in place of Salil Ankola in the selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar.

Ankola is the second member from West Zone besides Agarkar in the National Selection Committee and the BCCI seems to have dropped him to maintain representation in all zones under it.

Ratra, a former Indian wicketkeeper-batter, brings with him a wealth of experience and an impressive track record in both domestic and international cricket, the BCCI informed in a statement on Tuesday. Ratra played six Tests and 12 ODIs for India. Representing Haryana, Ratra played over 90 First Class matches, scoring close to 4000 runs and had over 240 dismissals.
