Annual General Meeting: Newly appointed India women’s team chief selector Amita Sharma said the chance of serving the national side once again is a ‘very proud moment’ for her. On Sunday, Amita, the seam-bowling all-rounder who played for India in 116 ODIs, five Tests and 41 T20Is, was appointed as the chairperson of the women’s national selection committee during the BCCI’s 95th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai.

She will now succeed Neetu David in the top job, with her tenure scheduled to begin after the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup is over. Amita will also be joined by Sulakshana Naik, Jaya Sharma and Sravanthi Naidu in the five-member panel alongside Shyama Dey Shaw.

“Right now, with phone calls coming in from all quarters, it’s a little bit tiring. So I will see what happens next. But the main thing is that, the chance of serving the Indian team again is a very proud moment for me. I just feel so good to be attached with the Indian team in some capacity,” said Amita in an exclusive conversation with IANS.
