The other two in the panel are Central Zone's Gagan Khoda and South's MSK Prasad, who were appointed in October 2015 and as per earlier rules would have continued till 2019.
As per Lodha Committee recommendations, "Only former Players who have represented the Senior National Team in Test matches shall be eligible to be appointed to this committee, provided that they have retired from the game at least five years previously. The senior-most Test cap among the members of the Committee shall be appointed as the Chairperson."
No international Test
As per the SC-appointed committee's recommendation, Khoda gets stuck as he does not qualify having played only two ODIs back in 1998-99 and no Test matches.
