New Delhi, May 20:

It’s a full time commitment,” Chappell said. A six-member selection committee unanimously recommended Cha-ppel from among four contenders — Mohinder Amarnath, a star of India’s lone World Cup triumph in 1983, Australia’s Tom Moody and former West Indies opener Desmond Haynes — who were interviewed yesterday.
