BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, a key official for the proceedings, has been unable to land in Mumbai as his flight was cancelled, according to a Times Now report. He is now expected to arrive later in the afternoon, which has pushed back the selection meeting and subsequent squad announcement. Though the announcement will still be made later today, the exact timing remains unconfirmed.
