More than two decades after resigning as a Test selector, cricket great Greg Chappell may be poised for a shock re-appearance as Australia's first fulltime selector, the Herald Sun reported.<br /><br />  <table style="width: 80px; height: 229px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="80" align="right" border="1">  <tbody>  <tr>  <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/aug/23greg.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr>  <tr>  <td>  <p align="center"><span style="font-size: 8pt">Greg Chappell</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>The former Test skipper and ex-Indian coach will be interviewed this week for the newly created position which includes the role as national talent scout.<br /><br />Current selection boss Andrew Hilditch has not applied for the wide-ranging job but will remain as chairman of the selection panel until at least the end of the World Cup in the subcontinent next year.<br /><br />The selection panel shake-up is another sign of the winds of change which are sweeping through Australian cricket.<br /><br />Hilditch has won high praise for guiding Australia through generational change including rebuilding after the retirements of Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden. But he has also come under heavy public criticism for juggling his selection role and his high-powered job as an Adelaide lawyeru00a0- and there was a feeling that having a fulltime selector must be a priority.<br /><br />Chappell is currently coach of the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane and the 62-year-old's vast experience and unparalleled cricket pedigree should make him the frontrunner for the new role which includes being a media spokesman for the selection panel.
