From MSK Prasad, the onus to take a call on MS Dhoni's retirement is now on new chairman of selectors, Sunil Joshi. The former spinner, one of the three candidates from South Zone along with Venkatesh Prasad and L Sivaramakrishnan, was on Wednesday appointed Prasad's successor after the ex-wicketkeeper's four-year term ended. Central Zone's Harvinder Singh was appointed in place of Gagan Khoda.

Karnataka man Joshi's selection panel will pick the ODI team for the three-ODI South Africa series. Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) head S Madan Lal said Joshi & Co will be able to take tough calls despite the new chairman of selectors not having any selectorial experience.
