Chauhan is Delhi coach
NEW DELHI : The first chapter of the new domestic cricket season has been scripted with the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) finalising the names of the selectors and coaches for the Ranji team and five age-group outfits.
While former opener Chetan Chauhan will coach the Ranji team, Atul Wassan will chair the selection panel, which also includes Nikhil Chopra, Vinay Lamba and Raj Kumar Sharma.
The decision on these names was taken with the honest desire to ensure that the best talent gets to play for Delhi. This is a good beginning to the new season, says DDCA president Arun Jaitley, who headed the five-member special body that ratified the names of various selectors, coaches and managers proposed by the sports committee on Sunday.
Following an eventful 2005-06 season, which was marred by threats from goons, selection controversies and the sacking of the entire Ranji selection panel, it is hoped that the 2006-07 season will see Delhi cricket in the news for the right reasons.
