After the last few Indian team selection committee meetings, MSK Prasad would get asked whether that was his last selection meeting since the BCCI opened invitations for two spots in the national selection committee. No more questions now as finally, the replacements for Prasad and Gagan Khoda were announced earlier this week. The duo finished their four-year terms.

Prasad became a national selector in 2015, replacing Roger Binny after the BCCI was first hit by conflict of interest. After the four-year term of Sandeep Patil's selection committee came to an end the following year, Prasad, who played six Tests and 17 ODIs, was surprisingly elevated as chairman of selectors. It raised many eyebrows and critics did not fail to bring up the fact that he had figured in only six Tests. It's something that has always haunted him till the time former left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi was appointed the new chairman of selectors for one year on Wednesday.
