Nowadays, even the Chief Selectors need to be tuned to the modern requirements of the game to select a good squad. In this regard, we now have some former cricketers taking up that role. In fact, some of these players have also been a part of the T20 World Cup in the past, as a player. Here, we take a look at the list of four former players in T20 World Cups who are now Chief Selectors for their nations.
1) Ajit Agarkar
Ajit Agarkar is one of the former players in T20 World Cups who are now Chief Selectors for their nations. The former India all-rounder was a part of the 2007 T20 World Cup.
The Chief Selector role was a highly controversial one. However, ever since he has taken over, Ajit has done a fine role and has also selected a decent squad for the upcoming World Cup.
2) Luke Wright
One of the versatile T20 players that England has seen is Luke Wright. Back then when the format was still new, he was a highly-rated player in this format.
Now, he is the Chief Selector for England. For the upcoming T20 World Cup, he pretty much had an easy choice to make.
3) George Bailey
George Bailey is also one of the former players in T20 World Cups who are now Chief Selectors for their nations. Bailey was even the captain of the Australian side back in the 2012 edition.
Now, Bailey has seen success as a Chief Selector. Again, for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, he has opted for an experienced setup.
4) Wahab Riaz
Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz was a part of the 2016 T20 World Cup in India. Now, he is the Chief Selector of the Pakistan Team.
As usual, he will have some tough decisions to take. This is bound to happen when the selection of the Pakistan squad happens.
