The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday announced the appointment of a 3-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) that will also pick the national selectors; posts that are vacant after the sacking of the Chetan Sharma-led team.

The CAC comprises Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjape, and Sulakshana Naik.

Ashok Malhotra has represented India in 7 Tests and 20 One-day internationals and recently served as the President of the Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA). Paranjape has played 4 ODIs for India and was part of the senior men’s selection committee.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has made the huge call that his side is not favourites for the round of 16 clash with Australia on Sunday morning.

He insisted his side led by superstar Lionel Messi would not take the Socceroos lightly.

“They’re all difficult, we saw that with Saudi Arabia,” Scaloni told reporters late on Wednesday.

“If you think Australia will be easy you’re wrong because they have shown that getting through against tough teams in this World Cup.

“All the games are hard. Anyone who thinks the match against Australia will be easy is wrong. We’re not favourites.

“If you think that just because we won today, we are going to become World Cup winners, you’re wrong.”

Scaloni admitted he and his backroom staff had spent little time analysing Australia so far but would do so now.

However he insisted that while “we have to analyse our opponents, we have to also think about how to hurt them.”

Scaloni also hit out at organisers as Argentina will play their last 16 tie on Saturday with only two full days to rest.
