The Srikkanth-led selection board is set to come under the scanner during BCCI's AGM on September 19 and 20.
"It would be determined at the AGM," was the terse reply from BCCI secretary and president-elect N Srinivasan.
According BCCI constitution, the term for a national selector is for four years with a chance of addition at the end of the third year.
Barring North Zone's Yashpal Sharma who has finished four years, West Zone's Surendra Bhave, East's Raja Venkat, Central's Narendra Hirwani along with Srikkanth were set get an expansion after World Cup triumph.
But humiliating Test defeat in England has raised a few questions about the future of this board.
Especially, both West Zone and East Zone are miserable with the selectors instead of their individual regions and want a change.
Former Maharashtra batsman Bhave and Bengal southpaw Venkat are the two members who haven't played any international cricket are measured to be the two weaklinks in the panel.
"Bhave is not firming sufficient to air his views. We, at the zone, feel a stronger man is needed to put forth the West players' recommendation in the next committee," sources told PTI.
Similarly, the East Zone members particularly Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has never support Venkat and there are reports they would also request BCCI to consider a replacement.
Interestingly, CAB which is Venkat's state organization didn't take in him in the state selection panel for the last three years.
