Former wicketkeeper MSK Prasad has been chosen to succeed Sandeep Patil as the chairman of Indias selection panel. The decision was taken at the BCCIs 87th annual general meeting in Mumbai, after the board had invited applicants for the selection job for the first time.Prasad had been part of the previous selection panel headed by Patil since November last year. Former offspinner Sarandeep Singh, and former batsmen Gagan Khoda, Devang Gandhi and Jatin Paranjpe were the other four selectors named in the five-member panel. Last week the BCCI had announced it would choose national selectors for the mens, womens and junior selection panels via an interview process for the first time, discarding the previously used zonal method. On Wednesday, a top BCCI official said that despite the three new selectors in the panel - Sarandeep, Gandhi and Paranjpe - belonging to different zones, the appointments had been made on the basis of interviews conducted over the last two days.However, by picking a five-member selection panel, the BCCI went against one of the Lodha Committee recommendations that was approved by the Supreme Court in its July 18 order: to trim the selection panel to three members. The Lodha Committee also said only former India Test players should be eligible to be appointed to the mens and womens selection committees, provided they had been retired from the game for at least five years. Khoda and Paranjpe have not played Test cricket.The BCCIs eligibility criteria, however, stated: He/She should have represented the Indian team either in a Test match or a one-day international or more than 50 first-class matches in India, in a team selected by the BCCI to be considered for the senior national selection committee.BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke said the selection process involved only himself, BCCI president Anurag Thakur and chief executive Rahul Johri, and that they had not sought input from either the Cricket Advisory Committee or other former cricketers.A lot of applicants came and we also got a first-hand insight into what their ideas are, what they wish to do and their vision, Shirke said after the AGM. We have got an insight into the kind of manpower that is available to take up different positions in different places within the BCCI. We were very impressed by the inputs given by almost all the candidates.When asked about Prasads relative lack of experience as international cricketer, Shirke said: Two selectors had finished their four-year terms, the maximum that is granted to anybody. We have filled it up and the senior most person has been elevated to the chairmans post.Prasad said his appointment was a great honour. I have a clear-cut vision about how we are heading to the 2019 World Cup. I always have kept notes about what I want to do for the 2017 Champions Trophy, for the 2019 World Cup. There is a lot of planning. The best thing is we have watched as many domestic matches as possible. We have done tours to Zimbabwe, Australia only at the end of the season. Because we have watched so much domestic cricket last year we have a succession chart and jotted down names for three different formats. Sandy bhais team has done a fantastic job. It makes more sense for us to continue with it and move ahead.Prasad made his international debut in 1998, in an ODI against Bangladesh. He played the first of his six Tests in 1999 against New Zealand at Mohali. In 2000, however, he was dropped from Indias Test squad and did not play international cricket again.He played 96 first-class matches, scored 4021 runs at an average of 27.73 and effected 266 dismissals. He also hit 1719 runs in 88 List A games. Prasad was appointed Andhras captain for the 2007-08 Ranji Trophy season, but announced his retirement in 2008. He also served as Andhra Cricket Associations director of cricket for six years.Shirke also said the tenure of the current ombudsman Justice (retired) AP Shah had come to an end, but the BCCI had not decided on a new appointment. We have to look at a fresh appointment, he said. Fresh appointment includes everything - it could be extension, it could be new and that is to be decided. We have other urgent matters that we need to address even before that. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Darren-Mcfadden-Jersey/ . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Demarcus-Ware-Jersey/ .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Tyron-Smith-Jersey/ . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Damontre-Moore-Jersey/ .

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. PORTLAND, Ore. -- Recently Mariah Stackhouse was flipping through some old photos, and she came across a few of herself playing golf when she was just a little kid.And it dawned on her that even though shes making her debut as a professional in the Portland Classic, shed been working toward this goal for a long time.Just looking at that span and knowing how much Ive grown and how much has changed in my life, its pretty -- I guess `special is the word, she said, and I feel fortunate to have made it this far.The 72-hole Portland Classic gets underway on Thursday at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. The tournament, in its 45th year, is the longest-running non-major on the LPGA Tour.Stackhouse just wrapped her college career at Stanford, where she was a four-year All-American. She helped the Cardinal to an NCAA title in 2015 and to the team final against eventual winner Washington this year -- played just a couple of hours drive away in Eugene.The camaraderie Ive shared with my teammates the past four years, especially these last two with such good performances all the way through postseason, its a lot fun, the communications major said. I think those are the memories that Ill carry with me from my college golf experience.But Stackhouse was a prodigy well before her career at Stanford.When she was just 2 years old, father Ken recognized that she may have a talent for the game. She played in her first tournament at age 6 and tied for first, playing against 9-year-olds.In 2011, at the age of 17, she became the youngest African American woman to earn a spot in the field at the U.S. Open. In 2014, she became the first African American woman to make the Curtis Cup team, which the United States won that year.Ive been workiing hard and I recognize its another level.dddddddddddd Im just excited to go out here and play against the girls that Ive been wanting to play with for a long time now, she said about her pro debut.Stackhouse is playing in the Portland Classic on a sponsors exemption. Shes written asking for exemptions to other LPGA tournaments (shes allowed six) and may play in some Monday qualifiers. She says she wants to also play events on the developmental Symetra Tour.The Portland Classic will cap quite a month for Stackhouse. In addition to graduation, she signed with Sterling Sports Management, which also represents Stacy Lewis and Brittany Lincicome. She also landed a global endorsement deal with international professional services company KPMG, which also sponsors Lewis and Phil Mickelson.Brooke Henderson won last years Portland Classic by eight strokes after joining the field as a Monday qualifier. A year later, Henderson is ranked No. 2 in the world and has a major championship.We saw Brooke Henderson earn her LPGA status in Portland last year and look forward to seeing if Mariah can match that feat this year, said Tom Maletis, president of Tournament Golf Foundation, which runs the event.While shes already come a long way from that little kid with a sense for the sport, Stackhouse admits shes a little nervous for her first foray as a pro.You know, something that Ive worked on is definitely thinking about it as being the next step. But, yeah, there is definitely nerves, she said. Not the bad nerves, just this is a very exciting week. Its something that Ive looked forward to my whole life.
