The report further suggested that CAC will only interview Kumble, Sehwag, Moody and Pybus. While there is a slim possibility that the other two Indians who have been shortlisted – Rajput and Dodda Ganesh can be called for the interviews as well. “The interview process would start from either Thursday evening or Friday onwards. The CAC would meet the candidates individually and take the call later,” the source added.
