Lal reckons there are three positions in particular which the current panel will look forward to pick
The CAC's first and foremost task is now to pick replacements for outgoing selectors MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda.
The third member of the panel is likely to be Mumbai-based woman international Sulakshana Naik, who has played two Tests and 46 ODIs for the country.
Shastri could well be contesting for the post all over again if CAC is found guilty.
The process started on Monday and will be completed only on Thursday with the announcement of all the names.
Meanwhile, Bharath Arun is favourite to retain his post as the bowling coach due to the stupendous performance put in by the fast bowling unit in the last two years.
Shastri admits the task will be a challenge, but the 57-year-old said he will relish the opportunity.
CAC has asked the Committee of Administrators to include them in the process of appointment of the Indian team's support staff.
The Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) named Shastri India's head coach on Friday.
Quizzed if the CAC’s decision was influenced by captain Virat Kohli, who backed Shastri for a second term, CAC chief Kapil Dev replied in the negative.
