New Delhi, Dec 22 (PTI) When the BCCI mandarins opened the mail box to check the CVs of prospective national selection committee candidates, they were in for a shock to find applications from Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virender Sehwag.

And if that wasn’t enough, there was Pakistan captain Inzamam ul Haq also offering his candidature for the position.

Only that all these CVs were posted using spam email ids from imposters wanting to have some fun at BCCI’s expense.

The BCCI has received over 600 e-mail applications for the five-member selection panel and a some of them have come from fake ids claiming to be Tendulkar, Dhoni, Sehwag and Inzamam.

On a serious note, the Cricket Advisory Committee is expected to shortlist 10 names for the high-profile positions.

“Around 600 applications have been received and some of them have come from fake ids claiming to be Dhoni, Sehwag and Tendulkar. They are simply wasting BCCI’s time by doing that.

“The CAC will shortlist 10 candidates and then choose the final five. The process will be completed soon,” a BCCI source told
